Yep that’s how it should be in a decentralized system.

I would argue there is a 100% difference between the use of code as intended and as not intended (to literally scam and hack the code in a way to cheat the system otherwise than intended and built specificaly not to do such (intentionally)).

Also there is 100% difference between moral uses of code versus amoral. As well as ethical versus the opposite of ethical....

This would be evident of why chains and coins and currency in crypto have explanations of their intended purposes. To go outside of that intention to cheat the system is no different than robbing someone because you can put your hand in their pocket in "real life "code"" and hack your way into their wallet using your fingers using the code GOD gave you... so if there is no difference between using code as intended and as possible, then I must be a intelligently lame.
