The point is still correct. People often disagree on what is good and what is bad. It’s a judgement, not an indisputable fact.

Oh good, nothing's possible then, we should give up on regulating bad things because hitmen think murder isn't bad when they do it.

I abandon accounts when they get way into the hundreds of karma, generally, or a couple times I’ve let it get a ways into the thousands before destroying the password. I prefer not to become attached to it, and find the minor clout of recognition (upvoted comments that probably ought not have been…) kinda gross.
