DuPont pulled shady shit because executives were heavily incentivized to maximize profits in the short term.

Ok? No shit?

That's not the same thing as literally trying to make people sick, as the original commenter said and as I was replying to initially. Being negligent is not the same thing as being malicious; intent matters. Even if I try to cover up a harm, that doesn't mean the harm itself was my intention. If you guys can't understand the nuance there then I dunno what to tell you.

		Leaving a valve open by mistake and accidentally venting toxic gas into the neighborhood is negligence. Ordering the valve be opened is malicious.

		It's not negligence. Negligence is when you don't test product safety and ship an unsafe product without knowing it. You can reasonably argue this was the case in the early days of cigarettes. If you continue to ship a product after you know it is harmful you are deliberately causing harm.
