That's going a little far, don't you think? It's usually the VC people who are accused of taking one instance of personal tragedy and claiming that it proves their ideology. VC doesn't claim that it prevents 100% of collisions, or that people don't sometimes still make mistakes in judgment. In this case, it's still unclear who ultimately made the mistake, although it sounds like it may have been Bruce, or why he made it. We may never know. But if he made the mistake, it's not VC's fault, it's his, and it sounds like he's the type of person who would be the first to admit it, if he could.

Agreed. I never met Bruce, but having seen his name here and there, and reading about everything he's done, this makes me very sad.
