Proprietary and secret software is the moral equivalent of runners in a fist fight. Sad to say, the only referee we've got does not seem to object to fights; he just regulates them (&ldquo;For every ten yards you run, you can fire one shot&rdquo;). He really ought to break them up, and penalize runners for even trying to fight.
