&gt; pretending its all a XOR between (2) and (3)<p>No one is pretending this. At least, I&#x27;m not, and the author of the article isn&#x27;t.<p>You&#x27;re completely missing the fact that <i>I&#x27;m not talking about ethics here</i>. You&#x27;re arguing pro-CIE, and your arguments are fine, but trying to argue ethics is beside the point. I&#x27;m talking about <i>ethical positions</i>, a meta-level up; and I&#x27;m saying that you subscribe to CIE while calling CIE a straw man.
