You're being too considerate. It's not like hiring a lawyer who's written a law or has a title. It's like saying a lawyer needs to commit a crime to be a better lawyer.

- zaphar 11y agoExcept that software patents are not criminal, they are legal. You may wish they weren't but they are. His analogy is far more appropriate than yours. I also wish software patents didn't exist. But I'm not foolish enough to think I can pretend they don't.
