Get Away from Dichotomy on Issues of Ethics

I would like to differentiate (1) people who use weak authentication solutions and (2) those who gain quick money by promoting weak authentication products alleging that they are promoting security-enhancing solutions.

The latter (2) that end up with spreading a false sense of security comes in our sight as an issue of ethics while the former (1) doesn’t.

Here we should get away from a dichotomy of deciding whether ethics is either powerful or powerless. Ethics is actually not so powerful as we expect it to be and it is not so powerless as we fear it to be.

More specifically, ethics may be powerless in those who ignore ethics from promoting unethical products, but ethics could be powerful in preventing those unethical products from becoming too dominant.
