I agree, but what's the chance that we'll ever get a non-broken implementation? If someone really tries to fix it, that would be great, but what are the odds it'll really be fixed instead of just being broken in different ways? From my perspective, ExpectedChanceOfBrokenness * ExpectedCostOfBrokenness > ExpectedCostOfKillingThem . . . so the probabilistically optimal course is to just kill patents for software (and business methods), even if it's not the absolutely optimal course.
