Please turn to the ACS code of ethics in your symposium papers. I am also a Justice of the Peace and authorised to administer oaths. Such oaths are legally as well as morally binding. There is a immense difference between reading something individually, as an abstract concept and experiencing it as part of a social group.
All programmers are suspicious of computer documentation.
The ACS code of ethics is a type of documentation. Programmers only turn to documentation as a last desperate step in trying to work out what is going wrong with a program. They mistrust documentation as it tends to express the author's wish of what the program should do, when the program was conceived, not what it actually does now. The programmer instead examines the internal construction of the code and its behaviour in operation to get a more realistic view of what the program actually does. In the ten years of my computing career I have had to resort to the code of ethics a handful of times.
