What an emotive issue this is!

We seem to have three questions here. The one everybody's answering is "Should you fake logbook entries?" and of course the answer is no. However, the one most people are asking is "Could you fake entries and get away with it?". And the third unasked question is "Is it OK to ask the second of these questions?". Some people seem to think not. But why? If I sit and muse about a foolproof way to rob a bank, does that mean I'm going to do it? Does it mean that somebody reading it, who had no plans to rob a bank before, and no idea how to do it, would now say: "Wow, I can do it now and get away with it!". Do people go from honesty to dishonesty that easily? Do we think our fellow pilots do? What's really going on here?
