I'd say I would have done differently if I had understood the situation better, but frankly I wouldn't have done anything at all if I had understood the situation better. Hence the whole not contributing anything lately thing. (IMG:

I agree, that your optimal strategy would be to deliberately do nothing at all. In that case, an act of Civil Disobedience would have been the Null Act.
I've been trying (with notable lack of success) to convey to Adam, Abd, and Ottava the concept of Civil Disobedience, illustrating how and when to use it in the face of corrupt practices by officials in power.
In the Story of Caprice, she was simply an innocent kid (a young female goat) who was chosen to be the designated scapegoat in the Yom Kippur Ritual. In her case, her disobedience (departing from the script) revealed the futility of the ritual. You can't solve a systemic problem by picking a convenient scapegoat to blame it on. That is the timeless lesson that the Story of Caprice reminds us of.
