Accepting the wrong thing because the majority do it only encourages
more wrong for the sake of convenience.
We don't accept stealing by our children because most of them do it. I
think most parents have figured out by now that, although at first it's
more convenient not to force children to conform to "what's right", in
the long-term accepting such behavior causes more harm than good. It's
worth the effort to behave.
The computer world isn't really any different, although it's foreign
enough, even to many experts, that they can't extend simple analogies
like this over. But the same stuff applies... we just need to be mature
enough to realize and apply it.
