Precisely so.  By providing the chaff we are making a moral decision to
help those who use Tor.  Have we done so consciously and is it the right
one?  That is my point.  I'd like to say I have the answer, but I
don't.  And the answer only matters if we are doing this solely for Tor
users.  I do think proponents should be able to answer the question.
