6479 Noninterference requires justification as much as interference does [Nagel]
     Full Idea: Noninterference requires justification as much as interference does.
     From: Thomas Nagel (Equality and Partiality [1991], Ch.10)
     A reaction: I'm not convinced by this, as a simple rule. If I spend my whole life doing just the minimum for my own survival, I don't see why I should have to justify that, and I don't see a state is obliged to justify it either.
