- shadowgovt 6y agoThe law around scams looks a lot like the design of unit tests. On the one hand, you have the full suite of hypothetical unethical mechanisms (realized and unrealized) human beings could scheme up to unfairly cheat each other out of hard-earned resources. Analogous to the full suite of behaviors a complex program could exhibit given arbitrary inputs over infinite time.

But unit tests, as we know, are not mathematical proofs of soundness.
