This is the best comment I have read on HN in quite a while!
It reminds me of a story from one of Malcolm Gladwell's books. I forget the point he was trying to make but something went wrong with a patients surgery so he approached a lawyer and said he wanted to sue the surgeon. After reviewing the details, the lawyer said the surgeon is not at fault and that his family doctor should be the one that the lawsuit should be directed at for a poor recommendation.
The client responded "But I don't want to sue my doctor - I like him."
Personally, I don't find anything ethically wrong with what they did. And I think a lot of people on this thread have not lived in other countries that aren't completely over regulated.
