Hi Spoon Man!
It's not that BP has made a mistake, it's that BP is a repeat offender, habitually disregarding safety. Exxon Valdez, the Houston refinery explosion, those were BP operations, and they aren't the only incidents.
RE: competiton, one can likewise make that argument for corporations that employ child labor; they provide competition and drive prices down, so what's the problem? Well, I do not believe that the ends justify the means. And if BP went out of business, market logic states that other actors would enter the market to take its place.
