Let me start by saying that I don't know that I agree one way or another
with either side of this discussion.  I'm just trying to understand both
sides of the discussion.

What about beagle variants that change the expected behavior?

For instance, an beagle variant which leaves the open port 6777, the
command disable, but changes the removal code to be destructive to the
system?

When people voluntarily run this scan they are trashing their system,
until such time as you change the script to do something else.  In the
mean-time Nessus has been (not mildly, but excessively) destructive.
It's not like just crashing a service, it's causing an whip-out of the
machine.

Sincerely,

George
