Similarly, there are poker players who cheat. If a player is honest, why would she ever feel the need to hide her cards?

But back to the material in the article. I suspect that Mr. Myhrvold and his ilk have not actually put their $500B into a pile and lit it on fire (speaking quite literally here, not metaphorically). Thus the notion that they have drained that amount from the economy is ridiculous.

These are not exactly the actions of a honest company, are they?
