Something really annoying about technophobes I have noticed...
Is that the woo-woos and technophobes ALWAYS conflate a technology with unscrupulous misuses of that technology. One sees this in discussions about nuclear energy ("nuclear weapons are bad, so nuclear energy must be banned!"
 , and with GMOs ("Monsanto is full of greedy assholes, so GMOs should be banned!!!"
