You’re correct.
Mad Man P then needed a better knowledge of how the ads are placed and how exactly they are chosen to have beaten you in the challenge. His point was the best one though, “you” are biased–it’s undeniable. However, when you default your bias to an algorithm (technology), then you are alleviating your responsibility on a different issue. Perhaps you should find a different way to fund ILP than to apparently allow the spread of misinformation… Though, that would require work. It would then be reasonable to pass on this work if you are not able to undertake it. Then, Mad Man P becomes part of his own argument–would he be willing to spend his time and money to help you find an ulterior method? His values would be expressed and if he were a hypocrite, then you would be the winner…
Anyway, enough with the if-then scenarios…
Your winning doesn’t change the observation that the spread of misinformation is occurring and that we have responsibilities as “intellectual superiors” (if any of us indeed are) to help people garner “better” information that can be accessed. Then again, where do you draw the line as a mentor vs. a babysitter for strangers?
