&quot;Providing an environment which makes cheating easy and profitable is just as morally corrupt as the cheating itself&quot;<p>No, it isn&#x27;t.  This is called victim blaming.  It is like saying not locking your door is as morally corrupt as the thieves that walked into your unlocked house.<p>We create standards for emissions.  And companies should comply with the tests even without the need for tests.  We expect people should follow the laws, and we should use the minimal amount of enforcement to get compliance. But it&#x27;s silly to blame the epa for poor tests.  The vault is with VW for selling cars that didn&#x27;t comply with emissions standards.
