I agree. But as we have seen, lots of supposedly savvy people were

In this case, the adviser from Goldman Sachs told them to take the
no-cash option from L & H. But at the same time, GS decided not to

In ancient times, there was a subject called "Business Ethics".
But ethical has been redefined as anything that is not illegal.  (07)
And legal now means anything you can pay the politicians to approve.  (08)
