The person wouldn't know, so it wouldn't cause them to harbor any ill will towards the cause.

What happens if systems are compromised to the point of being unavailable for their intended use,
and due to the "stealth" installations, their users do not realize the cause of the problems?

You would end up doing much more harm than good.
Even if some systems failed, it would still result in more folding in the end.

Anyways, I don't really think someone should actually do this.
You obviously just don't get it.

What part of theft don't you understand?

As far as resulting in more folding in the end, there is an old adage that could apply, regarding public relations,
it goes something like this; a satisfied user tells one other person, a dissatisfied user tells ten people.

Of course it's illegal. My point was that breaking the law can be morally justifiable. Take civil disobedience for example.
More so when the existing laws are immoral. That is not the case with fah.

It's not work the risk of getting your points deleted by Stanford, let alone fired from a good job, or even prosecuted by your employer. If you haven't guessed already, it's frowned on VERY heavily here, all joking aside. ;)
