It's human nature to assume others working in the same field have the same moral compass as yourself and to be shocked when they don't. No single data point can predict another in the human psyche. Or in other words, we're all little monkeys with differing levels of "crazy" where crazy is defined as different than the observer.

Weird, I actually just assume people are going to be quite different to me, so the idea that other people asssume similarities and are surprised when they find differences - to me - is quite surprising.
