On one hand: If a tool is being constantly and egregiously misused at large scale, might it not be reasonable to assign a degree of blame to the tool (e.g. tool has a “pit of success” that encourages/permits misuse.

On the other hand: marketing and execs could misuse and abuse an empty room if they do desired, so I wonder why we bother giving them tools in the first place.
