    Of course it is. If you were reading stuff off magnetic tape or even sodding punch cards it was still possible that it had been fucked around with.

    Hell yes. Results, results, results! It's what makes capitalism great.

    In countries where they don't have capitalism (like England, Bovril and Chiliconcarne) cops get paid the same no matter how many (or few) people they arbitrarily execute. Would you make more than a token effort under those circumstances?
