I can perhaps laugh at his commentary more easily since I never dismissed those ideas about the lab.

And I'm a science fanatic too, but I agree with Stewart about the damage some of them can cause too. In fact, when I hear people boasting about how civilization is so much more superior to distant hunter-gatherer lifestyles, I think about how our "wonderful" nuclear weapons might change that perspective in a hurry. At least ancient humans survived for many hundreds of thousands of years. Does anyone really believe that we can just sit on nuclear weapons over that time frame? And that's not even considering other problems, like climate change.
