If we know that it’s being used for gaining people to their side - a side that we all know is bad because it’s going to be used against the framework of the country - why not turn the tables for the good?

CS Lewis had interesting things to say about the damage good people can do when they decide to adopt immoral methods.

Also, Tolkien in the Lord of the Rings makes the point -- Frodo tries to give the ring, first to Gandalf, and later to Galadriel. They are good and wise -- wise enough to recognize the temptation to use the ring for good and to know that this power would corrupt them and taint what they wish to achieve.

Delphi Method is wrong. Fight it. Don't use it.

Immoral?

Look - My point is, we can’t wait and rely on acting defensively all the time.
