that wasn't the point in bringing up gates in the first place, so it's sort of a moot point. it should be interesting though.
Well the reason I left it at "potentially" is because it would be impossible to prove unless we can quantify happiness and suffering. And if you weren't basing your point on the idea that Gates has provided a net happiness, then I am lost.
p.s. I too lack a definitive opinion on the matter.
