You seem extremely unconvinced that any harm was done to the people who were sent scrambling by this alarm. It's as though no matter how convincing the email was, no matter how much of the recipient's time was wasted, no matter how many thousands of dollars they spent on lawyers, you ascribe all blame to the recipient for not having realized they were being deceived — and ascribe no blame whatsoever to the email's author for being deceitful.

This whole discussion was had in the old thread, and there was one person who used the same rhetorical device of belaboring the same question over and over again. It was tiresome.
