Your math is wrong. You wouldn't be cancelling out the greater evil with the vote for the lesser evil, so its actually twice as bad (or 4x what you were thinking).

0 lesser evil +1 greater evil

Exactly.

There is unfortunately no option to wind up with a non-evil result, your only options are greater evil result or lesser evil result.

By voting 3rd party you didn't reduce the chance of greater evil result, AND you didn't increase the chance of lesser evil result.
