I like your point, but you've drawn the wrong conclusion. Those with power are the ones that make the rules. Programmers aren't the ones with power, it's the casinos or the plane manufacturers with power, so it's their rules as to who the losers are. If, somehow it was in the casino's best interest that the programmer was made the villain then I'm sure a reason would have been found. Case in point Goldman Sachs screwing over Sergey Aleynikov, a programmer that served time because Goldman didn't want his expertise in a competitors company.
