Protecting Hesiod therefore doesn't
really solve the problem (i.e., you only lock out the "stupid" bad guys,
who usually aren't the *real* problem, though these days they are the
most visible source of trouble).
This is so curiously parallel that I must
quote the past counsel of the Massachusetts
State Ethics Commission who told me that
the only people the Ethics Commission has
a credible hope of catching are those that
are both venal *and* stupid.
There may be a fact of nature lurking here...
