re: James Harden: "I thought winning was more important"

Harden lost MVP 2 years ago despite putting up better stats with a weaker team

Debateable

This year it's the opposite, although Harden's numbers are much closer to Westbrooks than Curry's were to his. The goal posts keep changing.

No, Curry's numbers were better, I'm guessing that's the general take on that. It may be close, but I'd imagine saying Harden had better stats is the minority opinion. Either way, it's not some runaway that Harden had better numbers like you're insinuating.

I am fine with Russ winning it because he's been a beast, but you can't say the winning argument is dumb when there stats are so close, because I doubt you were saying that 2 years ago.

Lucky for me, i'm consistent in my valuation of individuals, so your doubts are unfounded if applied it across the board.
