I've known quite a few very intelligent members of the industry adn to
suggest that their moral structures are similar wihtin their presence
could only lead to bad things.

Making such generalisations is not exactly an intelligent thing to do,
I think you will agree.

There is little point in this discussion, as it is largely but not
entirely subjective.
Please stop wasting bits, this will not come to an agreed conclusion.
