Fix some typos #24

Closed Keirua closed 4 years ago

Keirua commented 4 years ago

Some minor things, too bad it's impossible to fix others in the PDFs.

I loved the irony of fixing a typo with a pull request about a sentence saying that pull requests are not useful ;)

I'm closing this pull request. Despite how symbolic it is, I don't think I should try to improve this project in order to make it better anymore; it is a danger for the population, no matter how clever it is under the hood. It should not be improved but fought so that it never becomes a reality.

I'd like to remind you that Oppenheimer, too, was blinded by the idea of making something intellectually super cool when he led the Manhattan Project. When the first nuclear bomb exploded and he realized his work was killing millions of people for real, he quoted the Bhagavad Gita.

You are in a similar position, before a major explosion now.

You have a point. But I think that with such argument, the best reaction would be to fight all contact tracing apps.

That's what I realize indeed, and that's what I meant, even though here we are talking about Robert.
