 In both  (1)  and the exchange in  (2),  the denial of an evaluation that is normally conveyed by cruel and courageous sounds odd, or infelicitous (indicated by “#”). If the first half of  (1)  has a global evaluation of something as bad in a certain way as part of its truth-conditions, the oddness of  (1)  can be neatly explained as reflecting a logical contradiction between its two halves. The same would go for the exchange in  (2):  A’s and B’s utterances entail contradictory claims about whether Sue’s act was good in any way. (See Kyle 2013a for a discussion of how the Semantic View might allow that  (1)  isn’t odd in all contexts.)
