It’s not that they don’t know these principles, but that reminders can break tunnel vision or prevent simple mistakes born of complacency.

If you are a VPN company and one of your co-founders and owners is a Nazi type while the other one defends him it’s not even about where your money is going, it’s about being fundamentally untrustworthy and unprincipled.
