I am trying to explain to you why people might have a different value system from you. It's a lost cause. I, and many others, have the ability to understand value systems we don't share. It would be a good skill to consider developing, in an increasingly diverse world.

You're acting like I'm unaware of the ideas of redteaming or chaos engineering or bug bounties or system resilience and that there's some "value system" blindness that prevents me from understanding it. I understand and value all of these things. What I'm explaining to you is the ridiculously, ridiculously obvious point that responsible redteaming, chaos engineering, or bug bounty pursuits do not put innocent bystanders at risk. And if you do put innocent bystanders at risk, you are an asshole. Sure, I get that some people have value systems that dispute this, and I'm perfectly comfortable saying those value systems are not worthy of respect. Intelligence isn't thinking so hard and so abstractly that you can't identify antisocial behavior and inflicting harm on innocent people for very likely zero actual practical societal gain. That's just, again, a convoluted excuse for being an asshole.
