@daniel Sorry, but the fact that we haven’t actually collectively used it after just 60 or so years of the ability to exterminate hundreds of millions of lives at the push of a few buttons is cold comfort on the scale of human history. This is clearly evil and stupid, even if it isn’t obvious how to back out of it.
