Mix in the banality of evil and strange things can happen. Felix Hoffman the scientist at Bayer who is credited (somewhat disputed now) as discovering heroin and aspirin in the same week. He was just a chemist. The company was just out to make a profit. Crack epidemics in almost every country were the effect. Bit of a long winded way to say it doesn’t have to be black or white and to also that we can’t tell for sure the full effects of anything until well after.
