There is a element of fear involved in a science that is partially
relying on future advances. K. Eric Drexler has stepped forward with
some previously unknown proposals. There is always a hesitance in the
saftey and security of new theories and thoughts, where science and
technology is concerned. Look at Charles Darwin, he still musters up
controversy.
