So how would one scientifically measure the impact? Maybe watch incidents.org for rises in reports after I post something? Other ideas? Maybe try to correlate malware spewing IP's with downloads?


That's the point. We do know the danger in providing unvetted access, but if
you are going to purport that the good outweighs the bad shouldn't you be in
a position to demonstrate it? Again, a matter of erring on the side of
caution.

What is that danger?

What was it 6 years ago?
