I definitely sympathize, but I've come to recognize that we can only expect so much of people in mass numbers. I agree with the poster further up that people have a reason to fear the application of expensive technology to the food they eat...they are awash in stories of problems that were identified much later. When the people act on those fears we say they are irrational.

Of course they are, they are human beings, not computers. When have we ever seen such delicate reasoning survive at a mass scale? We call it scientific illiteracy, as if all those people promised to behave in a scientifically literate fashion at some earlier point, and are now behaving defectively.

No such agreements were made.

This tendency to "spread" the Evil label (and the Good one) across categories and into related but distinctly different domains is a biological rather than digital approach to threat. As the elite of a culture that aspires to the digital, we get outraged.

It's not going to make any difference, y'all know that, right?
