I think it's fine. It's not very nihilistic, though. "since this could be seen as self-incriminating in a lawsuit." The law is bad, not the strategy.

Optics are stronger than they should be due to demotist myth-making. Ultimately it isn't my business how businesses are run. Let them that work survive, and them that don't perish, that's all.
