Agree its unethical to not disclose but if thats your business model I guess you don't care.
In the landlord example my argument is that the landlord is being unethical, locks should be changed.
- chongli 8y agoMaybe the landlord usually changes the locks but forgot this time? Heck, think about a quiet suburban neighbourhood. If someone forgets to lock their doors at night and they get robbed, it's still the burglar's fault for committing the crime. One of the guiding principles of ethics I follow is Kant's "ought implies can" [1]. If you make a mistake and forget to do something, that's not the same as deliberately choosing not to do it. All humans make mistakes of this kind. To imply otherwise is to imply that a person could rise above all of humanity. That is asking far too much.
