Erik -
I think sophistry is the word you're looking for. Your last on the fact that there is a disclaimer - if one knows where to look, and certainly not highly visible on the main page - only proves my point and objection. There is a certain mindset that says that doing things that are clearly unethical or against the spirit of the law (rule, more, code, standard, etc.) are all right as long as they follow the letter of the law. I'm sorry you think that's enough.
Oh - and when did helping people make informed choices stop being a courtesy and become a form of censorship?
