All of those are only things because there were lawyers willing and eager to sue the government over the evils at issue, so your point is much weaker than you think.
That’s actually exactly my point. That all these fields have had good and bad people the entire time and that the ratios probably don’t change all that much.
It sounds like you’d agree with me.
