I can't speak for others, but my opinions are the result of reasoning based
on my knowledge of engineering, military science, and the theoretical
potential of molecular manufacturing. If you think my reasoning is flawed,
show me where.

However, if you really want to examine the issue in detail I think we would
need to fill in some background first. It appears that we have different
fundamental assumptions about the relevant technologies and how they work.
