>I don't see the point in tone policing people generating knowledge just to remind them that sometimes knowledge is inconvenient.
If you found a simple way to kill all of mankind, that could be mitigated by waiting a week to publish while safeguards were implemented, is it wiser to publish immediately and risk someone killing all of mankind or to notify proper groups and then publish later after it won't kill everyone?
Maybe there's some nuance in these things. Ignoring effects of knowledge is not wise.
