You are exactly right about this. The same way that the two-party political system "disagrees" and "clashes" with each other while perpetuating the same essential policies, the "good guy" Apple and the "bad guy" FBI will put on a circus that makes us clap and cheer while our data is fat-piped to the NSA data center in Utah.
Your comment is too short for me to understand your point. What do you mean? (in particular "this issue" refers to what? which viewpoint is irresponsible? and why?)
