Very well written. Reif understands that there is nothing to be gained by outright pointing fingers. He knows that MIT played some part and basically admits it.

Very well written. Reif understands that there is nothing to be gained by outright pointing fingers. He knows that MIT played some part and basically admits it. What he doesn't want to do is go into details until he readily understands what role MIT played.
- asdfologist 14y agoWell objectively MIT did play a role, but whether the role was ethically right or wrong is a separate question. So the letter by itself does not admit anything, and we'll have to wait for the results of the investigation.
- rhizome 14y agoThreatening someone's life (30+ years in prison) for civilian expropriation of data is certainly a case of bad form, a tenet of ethics. We can argue MIT's significance in this mechanism, but that they aided a bad process is undeniable.
