I see where you're coming from. However that fallacy assumes that someone or something was injured and that there's a perverse incentive at play to incentivize destructive behavior. In this situation I'm not sure it applies. Who or what was injured by installing this tunnel? Were the tunneling companies now selling high-speed tunnels to other companies?
Fair enough. Though I imagine the ecological impact and carbon footprint is probably significant. We all live in a reasonably closed system, so the impact of every significant development touches us all.
