Commercial interests are of concern only insofar as they affect humans. It is misguided, for example, to apply concepts of human rights, like freedom of speech, to corporations. Whether a policy is good or bad is not always a matter on which reasonable people can differ. Bad policies often have energetic proponents despite their unequivocal badness. The badness of bad policies is not always intuitively obvious.
Proponents routinely resort successfully to deception.
They often hire attractive, genuinely sincere spokespersons and representatives. The faculty of reason is capable of discerning deceit and distinguishing good from bad policies. But the faculty of reason must be exercised. Gathering the facts and deliberating is sometimes necessary. It is usually foolhardy to have convictions on issues one has not examined in adequate depth.
