I think any kind of power-hungry, Machiavellian person would. EDIT: Gale springs to mind.



My problem with that claim is that I think even for power-hungry schemers there are just too many unknowns. By taking the tadpoles you're putting yourself potentially under the thumb of an entity you don't even know. You can't plot against a mark you're unaware of. You're just saying "I'll take this power and see what happens" when you know there is some kind of higher force at work.
