That's actually a good point. However, it becomes much murkier from a moral standpoint if you consider a scenario where you try to hide from a corrupt state for e.g. digging up dirt on a high ranking official. Or due to political, raci

This is based on gene sequence comparisons. The gene in question is closely related to its plant counterpart and phylogenetically distant to any other known insect genes. So the most parsimonious explanation is that the gene is horizontally
