>Your analogy fails because MIT IT certainly know what they could do to secure their systems more robustly, and chose not to do so.

While I am pro Aaron and anti-MIT this is argument is weak sause.

So what? I also know what I could do to secure my house more robustly (put an electric fence, more cameras, a steel door with secure locks etc), and I don't do it. Does that give you the right to enter into it against my will, much less to a robbery?

>This debate has gone on long enough; most of HN disagrees with your position. Let it drop.

And most of US citizens disagree with you (maybe), and say that abortions should remain illegal. Should you just let it drop? One should not abandon his views because of what a majority (or minority) says. And neither is what the majority agrees with always right.
