knowledge

See last part of my question.

If they are fully transparent about this then fine. But that's a question I imagine neither of us is positioned to answer. In @schmidty we trust.

Sharing knowledge sounds conspiratorial?

Would what we're doing here right now be conspiratorial if it were in private?

reply

It depends on who you ask.

In the Common Law legal system, for example, were we charged and convicted by a jury of conspiring against the state, then legally speaking it would be, definitionally, conspiratorial. We don't have to agree with the verdict to be convicted coconspirators.

I reckon the consortium members wouldn't think of themselves as conspiring either, but does that exclude the possibility? Not even remotely.

So then how could we conclude they are not conspiring? We could wait and find out, but that doesn't like sound very good answer.

Suggestions?
