"> Google does this stuff for completely altruistic reasons.
Here is my original response to that claim:
> But of course. Just like they help the NSA rape people's privacy for purely altruistic reasons? Don't Be Evil and all, right?
It's simply not accurate to claim I was attacking Daniel or his work at Google."
This stuff = the project being referred to.
I"m not sure how you can see it any other way, and as you can see, this is how other people saw it as well.
"Even if I had actually attacked the project, that would still be separate from attacking Daniel - he's just doing whatever he's told to do, and most likely without any evil intentions, as I already acknowledged."
It's interesting you think that i just do whatever i'm told to do, or that it is in any way like that (IE that there is/was top down direction in this case).
But this is silly at this point, I think i've already adequately explained how this all functions. You are welcome to believe as you like.

You get tasks/responsibilities assigned to you in exchange for a salary. Doing your job doesn't mean you're being evil, even if Google or its management is. I see why/how you got upset, but I didn't attack you or your work, personally. I'm sure you did a fine job of whatever tasks you had. Just to be clear, it's certainly possible to work on something without knowing that it's not done for purely altruistic reasons. But you're right, this is silly.
