The deadpan voice would fall back on you, a computer won't care. But I agree with what I suppose you want to point out, that ethics is not the relevant criterium.
The ethics of it is the interesting part though, if there's a reason we should not do something it should be discussed.
For me, "ethics" is a too strong word for this discussion.
What is the right word, to me ethics determines if something is good or bad, which I think is what you were trying to say.
