Topic on Talk:Stupid Evil

So, while working on the page, I came across this example, which I had cleaned up and edited into its present form (consult the history on how exactly I changed it):

  • A big problem in Johnny Mnemonic. The thought of an evil Mega Corp profiting from distributing a cure for a deadly virus affecting half the world's population lacks the real oomph villains need, so they try to suppress it instead. Said cure is cheap and requires only one dose, but the palliative treatment used to help disease-sufferers before the cure was invented is expensive and requires repeated doses, the corporations could potentially make a greater profit by not distributing the cure. Even so, they still want to go to the very specific trouble of cutting off and cryogenically preserving Johnny's head (the only remaining source of the data for the cure), even though they could just shoot him or completely destroy his head, and the cure would be permanently suppressed.
    • The bad guys are not immune to infection -- should any of them personally end up hit by the virus, they would need the cure.

By this logic, though, preserving Johnny's head to keep the cure from being accessible to anyone but the corp itself seems like a more sound approach - not the MOST practical, but enough to indicate they've at least partly thought this through.

Would this be a grounds for example removal or a note of aversion? Personally, I lean towards the former.
