No one should be innocent.

The profit motive (call it greed if you must) is the driving force
behind all innovation, all customer service, all product excellence
and all efficient manufacturing. Without the potential for profit
(sometimes *large* profits) there are no incentives for the risks and
hard work of starting or running a business. Anything else is
socialism and we all know how that worked out in the former USSR.

Harry is bitter because success (profit) seems to have escaped him.
