Woz is the only one of the three whose situation and mindset compares closely to Aaron.
I think one thing worth learning is that it is really hard to find absolutes in justice. There is no absolutely "good" act or absolutely "harsh" penalty. The discussion about how many people basically ignored Aaron's fundraising attempt on HN showed that not everyone thought his motives and acts were noble.
Steve Woz has only luck to thank for why he didn't spend a good amount of time in jail. Not for the blue box stuff, but for putting a fake ticking bomb in his high school locker and causing a scare. If that had happened today, he'd likely get more than just a temporary suspension, and no one would really care because he'd just seem like another stupid kid who needed to be smacked down. It's just a tragedy that Aaron did not have that same luck.
