Well, that is true engineers are not scientists, but your assumption is that science knows it all. Science has changed over centuries, and the theories you hold so dear and also view as being the infallible truth were the replacements of other theories. example, epicycles and equants made sense and were the 'right' thing at the time for hundreds of years,and before you go on the whole religion did this to us bend, remember that these were the views held by the greeks, whom many of which considered themselves free of such divine meddling, and later adopted by the church. But, I digress. One person wrote bout how gaulled they were some people do not accept this chimera thing with open arms and how dare they try to be techminded while not embracing this form of technology. I think the point is that running head long into something without looking at all the implications, blindly embracing the technology without looking at its capabilitys is folly. before we bow down and worship the god of pure science, embracing it as a religion (yes i said that), we should also look where it leads us. there must be a balance,pure science is reckless, but pure emotion usurps the potential of humanity. as a coworker put to me (a physisist) there is the spock left brain reaction and the kirk right brain response, and there was mcoy who functioned as the mediator somewhere in the middle.
