just ask yourself whether you'd rather have the information available or not

It's a negotiation thing. Wishing you didn't have the information is unreasonable, but preferring probability p of getting no information and probability 1-p of getting the interviews with transcription/summary/whatever over almost-certainly getting the interviews without transcriptions may be quite reasonable.

It's like minimum wage! You can interpret it as "people who can't earn at least this amount aren't allowed to have jobs", but you can also interpret it as "employers must pay all of their employees at least this amount".
