I see. So if you forgot to lock your front door and someone walked in and stole your TV set, according to you, you would not want to be able to have that person arrested or convicted of burglary because it was up to you to police your homes security by locking the door, you didn't do it, so it's your fault he stole from you, you deserved it and he did nothing wrong.
If you're going to insist on using bivalent logic you need to use truly analogous metaphors. For this scenario to work as analogous to this thread, it would have to look something like the following:
You own a house.
You have a renter who rents the house from you fully furnished with your furniture.
Your renter decides he can make some extra cash by selling your stuff.
He throws a yard-sale out front selling your furniture and will only take cash.
I see the yard-sale sign and a nice wardrobe so I stop to look and perhaps buy.
Should I insist on seeing the title for the house from the renter as well as original receipts for everything he's selling?
