Fixed.

I. J. Good's original, which I've somewhat abridged, explicitly specifies that there are no competitors who cause visible losses/gains after the invention is rejected.

To clarify, this is a summary of what you've excluded in your quote, not a response to the other case where the ethical problem exists, correct?
