Do you know Galileo received a pension from the church? Galileo had many admirers among the clergy, including the pope himself, yet by publishing a book he broke an earlier agreement on not teaching his theory and this wasn't taken lightly. A modern analogy would be to break an NDA.
- hutzlibu 6y agoYes I know, that Galileo prefered the money and luxery(and de facto imprisonment) over death. How noble of the inquisition to offer him that. And comparing that with breaking an NDA, well I don't know. I didn't know NDA's contain that.
- User23 6y agoIf violating your NDA reveals a trade secret you can face prison, yes[1]. [1] https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-trade-secret-law.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-trade-sec...
- hutzlibu 6y agowith the alternative of death at the stake?
- mwigdahl 6y agoNo, but that's why it's an analogy (and a reasonable one) rather than an exact equivalence.
- hutzlibu 6y agoYou really think it is a reasonable analogy to threaten someone with burning at the stake and jailing someone because of a trade secret?
- User23 6y agoYes, it follows from the definition of analogy. Perhaps you are thinking of equivalence instead? In that case you are correct that the two are not equivalent.
