Well now you have got me there,
understanding how to coerce and manipulate people doesn't seem all that positive. Well maybe understanding it is one thing, and actually doing it entirely another. I mean we understand how people freeze do death because of experiments in Nazi Germany, and that turned out to be very useful information.

Another way to look at it would be that she's comparing De Beers sponsoring civil war in Africa
with the Lifeboats saving hypothermic victims of near-drownings.

I don't think that extrapolating absurd juxtapositions invalidates the argument of itself.
