> malicious is orthogonal to illegal, although they are often correlated

Interesting choice of words. Orthogonal variables are by definition uncorrelated.



My bad about the incorrect usage. Please disregard the original phrasing, as my point is that all four combinations of [malicious, illegal] are possible, with an attempted-but-botched observation that sometimes malicious things are made illegal.
