I agree with you. As a system admin I make use of dual-use tools all the time. I was just warning that there are moral implications to making something that can be used as a tool and a weapon. Look at fission: Very good and very bad. Look at guns: Very good and very bad. Look at hemp: very good, very bad, and sometimes very illegal.

I was just giving a gentle reminder that there are questionable uses for things, but I didn't mean to imply that the only use for such tools was bad.

Thanks for pointing out my somewhat misleading response.
