Not even the technical aspects of probably a good third of the "aspects" listed above (- that you need to understand to have an informed discussion about those concepts)?

The one and only prerequisite for this discussion to take place was that it had to be somewhere where you could reach the "technical minded" folks.

That this discussion could take place in here was sanctioned by other people, the thread was created by someone else, I was reluctant to become the main voice to push the issue, so on - and so forth... (but I was confident in my ability to argue for it.)

If after 26 pages you suddenly come to the realization that "having an ethical responsibility" as someone who understands the technicalities, as a developer no less, is "off topic" on grounds of it not being "technical enough" - I dont know...

I give up?

But not if I don't have to. I'll post once in here every few months, give context and opinion about recent developments as I see them unfold... I'll play my part - just to have the possibility of seeing a collective conscience developing around the issue.
