Yes. It's always evil to prey on the innocent. How could you ever think
otherwise?
If an elderly person allows a false utility repairman into his house and
is then robbed, isn't that evil? How about if the robber said quickly in
the middle of a false cover story "andI'mgoingtorobyoualso"? You're
saying that full disclosure keeps it from being evil?
Please don't make apologies for those who write worms.
