i dont kmow what to do sbout tbe nazi data.

how important is it to know how long it takes a naked man dropped  into ice water to freeze to desth?

killing mice by dropping into freezing water had ong been a wY to assess vigour in scientific circles.

i dont like that either

Indeed. It's a matter of balancing distaste (potentially, likely-bad-outcomes as well) against curiosity and possibly even a need for a particular answer.

Let us do an Asmoic Hyperbole, because Asmos like those;

Let us assume that Hitler greatly enjoyed beef stroganoff made from prisoners of war. Is that dish now tainted whatever its meat? If you "invented" it all anew, would it still somehow inherit the taint never its own? What if you based something benign and fine-tasting on Hitler's original cannibalistic recipes?

I suppose the simplest answer is "just don't touch that stuff." Is it too simple though? What would you tell a person who asked "why" and was not willing to accept "because iffy" as an answer?

The best I can do, is say "it depends," then do my best to evaluate such problems case by case.

eating a case of beef stroganoff made from prisoners of war that you found in the freezer is wrong, even though they are already dead

making a new recipe that does not use prisoners of war is just beef stroganoff.

i wouldnt touch either one.

Yeah, I wouldn't touch that sweet, sweet long pork either, though for personal reasons. Whether I would begrudge someone else a taste... Is situational, I suppose.

Maybe, but there are more sides than two in the great-and-perpetual-Culture-War.

There's only 2 sides. My side, and the wrong side.

Asmodean

Ah, but the Wrong Side(tm) is not a side. It's a constellation of often-conflicting interests and agendas. I have ranted repeatedly about sharing trenches with Christian fundamentalists against former "allies" from the """sceptic""" "community," yes? It's a bit like that.

We live in a time of strange bedfellows.

More mattress mambo mileage.

Asmodean

Yeah... Complete with the itchy rash after, but what's to be done?

Chakras, crystals, essential oils, and potions.
