I guess you can judge the people, but I'm at a loss what you mean by judging the situation. I mean, if the incentives align a certain way to make a thing very likely to happen that thing is going to happen. The people responding to the incentives might be assholes, but you can't really judge the situation on the whole, any more than you can judge a seed for growing, once planted. The thing is, it seems that the incentives don't actually line up in the first place.
