I wish people would take it to its natural conclusion, though. That is, if you have facts about how people behave, and then your product creates pathological behavior, then you're fully responsible for it because you've done it on purpose. This particularly applies to all the skinner-box "games" that are so popular in mobile scene these days. They're purposefully optimized to be as addicting as possible, so their authors should be made to face consequences of all the problems caused by the addiction of their players.
