Risking going off tangent, I highly doubt that would happen. When you work in a domain, your entire life becomes it, you slowly lose wider context and alternative perspective. I doubt there are many people who purposefully want to be the bad guys, it seems more like "learned indifference". Just like many people who eat meat on a daily basis but would be uncomfortable with a thought of a chicken being killed in a process (and some freak out from a sight of a live lobster in a restaurant tank). Maybe it's a negative side of the "flow" - losing some degree of empathy.
