Our interpretation.
Kaladin answers an institution’s failure with personal responsibility. His understatement makes the rescue braver because he has no illusion that the contest is fair.

In Words of Radiance chapter 56, Adolin is trapped in a rigged duel against too many Shardbearers. Kaladin gives Dalinar this answer before entering the arena without Shardplate. The dry opening acknowledges the failure of the court’s honour while the next sentence commits him to action.
