{tag=Indulgence}
\Q[A friend of mine who's a rich man - he invented some kind of simple digital switch - tells me about these people who contribute money to make prizes or give lectures: "You always look at them carefully to find out what crookery they're trying to absolve their conscience of."]
TODO who was he talking about? <Robert Noyce> or <Gordon Moore> feel likely candidates:

But do you know what, <Cirism> is totally fine with taking <indulgences> to absolve someone from their past sins, so long as they have repented. Everyone deserves a second chance.
