Playing with the first Jinteki ID (PE) and this card is trashed by the runner, my question is: does the runner suffer 1 net damage or not? I guess the runner does not, but I wanna be pretty sure about it.
Without doing any research, my first impression is that the runner does indeed take the net damage. Based on the card text "add him to the runner's score area as an agenda..." since at this time it is considered to be an agenda, the PE would fire. Due to PE being "any time an agenda is scored or stolen"
In that case I see this card more playable in that identity. I had the doubt because steal and trash is not the same exactly.
But he isn't stolen, he is added, so the wording might mean that it doesn't work.
To steal an agenda, one must add it while it is being accessed (Rulebook, page 31). Chairman Hiro is added "as an agenda" after it has been trashed. The rulebook makes a distinction between "trash" and "steal" under its definition for "Accessing," (page 30: the runner can "trash or steal"). Since, in order to add it, Chairman Hiro must be trashed while being accessed, it is not stolen (the runner can do one or the other).
Jinteki PE triggers on the agenda being stolen (by the Runner) or scored (by the Corp), so cannot trigger once Chariman Hiro is trashed as a result of being accessed.
Self-destruct does a nice job keeping Chairman Hiro out of the Runner's reach, however (since it's not being accessed when the Corp trashes it), and does the net damage Jinteki PE likes, to boot.
