Discussions anent science, engineering and WMD are always interesting. There
are a lotta folks educated at two great schools of Technology (one in CA, one
in MA, as I was) who would not bother too much about the distinctions, which, I
think, are made by non-professionals in the business. I do think it's worth
noting that, for better or worse, decisions on using WMD in 1915 (gas), 1945
and today were made by politicians, most of whom, I assume, were were neither
scientists, engineers , technologists or soldiers.
