Mm, I am a pretty big fan of capitalism and innovation... but I still think that when we encounter cases of fraud (especially fraud that went undetected for years), we should update at least a little towards "the system doesn't work as well as we thought"

My point was just that counting Theranos as a *positive* update about society just because we eventually discovered it (which Jonathan seemed to be doing) was unwarranted If we followed that logic then any fraud we discover = good sign about society
Yeah, I don't update positively on the basis of Theranos. I do think it worked the way a lot of cons work; the marks are terrified to lose favor w/ the con & simultaneously convinced that if they communicate with one another they'll be giving up some Special Advantage they have
