So you're saying the engineer who designed it is innocent and the manager who actually put the trainwreck into production is to blame? If so then I agree with you completely. Ideas require free flow of ideas, concepts, experiments. If the bridge happens to be "racist" (what a dumb example) then so what. Let the person you pitch it to (if you get that far) point it out and go from there. If it passes initial examination and goes as far as to actually getting built, I'm way past washing my hands off any guilt. Edit: And your example is equally weird. Who in their right mind would ever design a bridge that was 0.001% safe? There are a ton of people up the chain who make way dumber (and "RACIST") decisions if they go ahead and build the contraption.
