With all due respect, how can you hope to fight crime if you don't know how it is committed? Would you rather that anti-virus efforts' best source of talent was in-from-the-cold malicious virus writers?

Your lack of understanding of what's really going on is striking. Rather than realizing this is an attempt to educate 'white-hat' hackers on how viruses are created, you paint it as an attempt to train black-hats. In a world where training in virus writing is criminal only criminals will write (or understand) viruses. That's not a world i'm prepared to live in.
