6) The idea "it's OK to forfeit your privacy if you're not doing anything illegal" is so old, illogical, and just plain naive that I'm surprised anyone intelligent enough to play backgammon espouses that. Try telling the founding fathers that one and then get out your best earplugs to save your hearing.

It makes sense from a game theoretic perspective. Forfeiting privacy is a weakly dominant strategy. Maybe that's why it's espoused among backgammon players.
