Mr. Leblanc,
I know of you and now I can be certain that you are what they define as "a brilliant but a very one-sided technocrat". You lack the intellectual basis to make any claims as to what defines economical and/or individual interest. Corporate desk-jockeying does require little to no intellectual sophistication it seems... What makes you think "we" require a good reputation to find work ? You just present silly anecdotal arguments, how about something empirical for a change ? There are many very successful short-sellers, whistle-blowers and prosecutors out there and none of them require a healthy/good reputation over at Microsoft or any other corporate HQ. There are many security researchers that might have a bad wrap at Microsoft, Apple et al however the empirical evidence I speak of is hidden in their bank accounts with the source of income being several of the Fortune 500 US companies and the US Government. Life is not as limited in legitimate gainful employment options as you might think so and it certainly does NOT require 30-40 years of being a corporate tool. The world is constantly changing and the economical reality with it. The ones who adopt deserve to survive all others will fail... I think Cushman, Moussouris are aware of that very fact, maybe you should listen to them for a change.
