I guess Otto Hahn also had only the best of intentions when he was researching Uranium-fision. (They thought of it as a way to produce cheap energy)
And Robert Oppenheimer and his co-researchers also had only the best of intentions when he worked on building Fat Man and Little Boy.
(They wanted to beat the Germans in a non-existant arms' race)


There's no point in introducing technology without an idea of the consequences it can create.
History repeats itself if one doesn't learn from it.
It's full of people who had only "the best of intentions".
I'm already sick of it ;-)
