Naswipp, there will always be disease - so is that a reason to stop all medical research? If you're blasé about having your work stolen after you've invested time and energy(including the financial investment in training), then fine. But it does bother me if I've worked hard on something, and someone lifts it. In fact, stealing more than bothers me - as well as lying to the reader in trying to pass something off as my own that isn't. The Bulletin is one of the reasons why journalism has such a crappy reputation as it does: it's dishonest.
