As I mentioned before, in http://dennisn.mooo.com/m...ory.php?sid=5572 ... if one does actually consider my anecdotal evidence (which still means nothing for the general question of the survey), I am indeed far more productive. I have contributed a bit to various open source projects, which benefit at least a few dozens of people. Statist-DSK, on the other hand, not only steals from others (net loss of productivity), but only contributes to a tiny number of ignorant practitioners, and only in the immediate present, given the nature of his work. Et cetera, et cetera.
Also, perhaps my impression is wrong, but it seems like the implication is that productivity trumps ethics. Would you rather have a productive Hitler, or a non-productive Joe Blow? |
