At risk of violating HN's policy: it's this kind of sophistry that allows tech employees and entrepreneurs to justify their predatory behaviour... bend over backwards hard enough and you can find the logic to justify nearly anything. Let's try it! How do you define a biological weapon? If I know I'm sick and I deliberately sneeze on people, am I a weapon? If I pay people with an illness to sneeze on people, is that a weapon? What if I cultivate smallpox in a lab and spread it with an aerosol sprayer instead of using human carriers? Where is the line on what is a biological weapon? Where along the way did we go too far?
