Think about it. What would be the hypothetical benefit? Being able to say "Hi, yes, we're being evil, but it's OK because we never officially promised otherwise"? Do you think such a statement heralds a clear PR win for any company?

- dkersten 17y agoOf course I don't think they'll do that, but if they've already messed up PR for some reason, due to being evil, at least they can brush it off (at least a little) on having never claimed that they weren't going to be evil. If it comes to that, they're probably already screwed, but at least they have a counter argument against the you promised you wouldn't be evil crowd.
