Edit: The invitation was for "comparable", not identical, examples. I provided a much larger scale, but comparable, example of undue influence. That they differ in legality is more an indication of the law's shortcomings, than proof that they're not comparable. Focusing on legality to the exclusion of all other considerations is motivated reasoning.

- ethanbond 3y agoAh yes, the nearest comparable example of an illegal and undisclosed activity is a 100% legal and disclosed activity... Consider me unconvinced. I'm sympathetic to the view that these should be seen more similarly than they are, but that is unambiguously not the case in current law.
