A very good strategy if the stuff you do is actually any good. For many ethically questionable fields obscuring or misreptesenting the context or the actual bussinesmodel is the only thing that allows you to keep a workforce. The best way to do this is to give them the tools to lie to themselves (this usually contains a flag to wave against the “other team”).

It’s rather conceited to assume the entire workforce shares your opinions of which fields are ethically questionable.

If you are open about what your money-making-model is, they can decide for themselves — however — if you are brainwashing them into believing you are the good ones while hiding the colateral damage, then you are wrong.
This isn’t about opinion, it is about honesty and transparency and knowing what you’re working for.
