Yeah, but we also need to get comfortable piercing the corporate veil when it comes to decisions like this. The corporation diffuses responsibility, it makes everyone feel they must do a thing. We have to break through that and make it clear that people have a legal responsibility to defy instructions like this, to not give instructions like this, and to inform their superiors when instructions will lead to this.
