I don't understand how you can blame him and call someone a "dumbass" for being honest. It looks like the dumbasses are Apple project managers, or Apple lawyer

It looks like the dumbasses are Apple project managers, or Apple lawyers, or Apple security admins or whoever write Apple's policies
- pfisch 8y agoIt is naive/lacking common sense to think always being honest is smart.
- antpls 8y agoIt depends of your believes. You can't prove that always being honest is not smart.
- tomtimtall 8y agoAre you a dumbass if you are honest? No. Are you a dumbass if you steal and then honestly tell that you did it? Yes. Now don’t get me wrong, all criminals are bad. But you have to admit that there is a difference between smart criminals and dumb ones. This person was a dumb criminal. Likely due to him not even contemplating that what he was doing was criminal, in-line with shoplifters who will tell you: “No it’s ok to eat the fruit inside the store, as long as it’s gone before you get to the counter you don’t have to pay”
- antpls 8y agoFollowing your argument, Apple could be a very smart criminal organization that doesn't get caught. Should we investigate further on Apple to make sure? Edit : by the way, that guy could have been blackmailed. Someone may have said "If you don't do it, we will harm your family". We shouldn't be judging someone without investigating all the elements, especially when an individual takes the risk of facing a gigantic organization. It should rings bells to everyone.
