Can you do that responsibly? This is the often ignored question. Maybe the answer is yes. But what bothers me is when people just ignore the question.

In logic, if you allow a contradiction into your reasoning, you can prove literally anything (by the Principle of Explosion). Similarly, if quality does not matter, you can achieve anything else (I can fly to the moon with a quality level of zero). And if responsibility doesn't matter, any lie is as good as the truth.

If, however, lies aren't as good as the truth, then responsible behavior might matter, and then we must consider which behaviors might be expedient yet irresponsible.
