We (or, to speak for myself, I) should understand:
how often does fraud happen in this industry as compared to others
what causes it
whether it's stoppable once started, and whether other companies have stopped when they've started
how different are kinds of fraud in companies
These example questions are statistical. I'd so much rather spend time getting a statistical picture of the situation than maximize fury against one bad actor. I think "blaming people"--as a way of conversing--is low-quality dialogue. This is how I agree with dang that the above comment is not what I'd like to see on hn.
