Hindsight bias?

I thought you made some excellent points Will. I was particularly convinced by your arguments about the problems of entrusting ethical choices to individuals on the merits of their business abilities; less so by your assertions that if something is a worthwhile area for attention then entrepreneurs will find it and exploit it (I may have paraphrased this in a way that confuses your meaning but essentially I see this as an area where you are putting too much faith in the markets alone). I thought it was primarily your arguments that swayed the debate though and I enjoyed it.
