I find the content Mozilla Foundation posts to be very good (their podcast, research and articles are excellent). However, when they rely on Google for funding the browser and invoke tracking into their website it does scream a bit of whitewashing. Hopefully they are able to fix that to be more morally consistent.
I don’t think there’s a need to sugarcoat every interaction, but at the same time, we’re but living beings, who all have our share of frustrations and bad days. It takes little to speak or write something a bit softer.
People don’t just randomly become unreasonable halfway through. If they’d be unreasonable, they’d do so from the start. If it happens midway, there’s almost always some reason.
That said, I do I agree that the chain of command should always be aware of what’s going on, or have a reliable way to find out.
Yep. People aren't rational, compliant, cooperative actors 24/7. Agendas. Bad days. Illnesses. Family events. So then it's unreasonable and foolish to extend trust unconditionally, perpetually, and without auditing.
If all people were angels, no government (or whoever regulates) would be necessary.
If all people (and systems) were perfect, no backups would be needed.
They do, but it’s not as common as black and white in English (American) media. There’s even an old song, pretty well-known, that has 2 lines that can be translated as “Black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin, forever more shall be the descendants of the dragon” (descendants of the dragon means of Chinese descent in the context of the song).
