A comment on Bill Gates, Hero. Parent comment

Reminds me of the comment about people not knowing what the real game being played is. They think the rules are a certain way when in fact reality has a very different set that they are incapable of operating within. They faced innovation outside the technical arena and got beat. Then they want to complain about the 'rules.'

Based on this logic, assassinations are 'fair game' so long as you don't get caught. Would I be an 'innovator' if I developed a way for corporate-directed assassinations to become a reality?

You would be an innovator. Whether assassinations are within the rules is a question I am not qualified to answer. It IS within the rules in some places and not others, I suspect that evolves over time.
