I wonder if anyone accused of these things has ever thought to bring in HN users as expert witnesses.
I'm sure even a random sample would cause a huge reduction in these inflated "master hacker" claims.
It seems that if you can have a few people rationally explain to a jury what the accused did, the crimes would seem much less diabolical.
