Point taken, Tekan. Let's just remember in our economics studies that Ford Motor Company once calculated the cost of modifying the known defective vulnerability of the Pinto fuel tank (circa early 70s, for the youngsters) to be more than the resultant liabilty that might result from deaths and other casualties from the defect; a low mark in corporate ethics, to be sure, but was it truly the lowest?
Sure, we'd all like to say, "yeah, that was the 70s, now we've got ISO 9001..." and whatever. But have things really changed?
