I see where you are going and OP's overly emotive language damaged the credibility of his point. However not all technology/engineering is neutral even compare

I see where you are going and OP's overly emotive language damaged the credibility of his point. However not all technology/engineering is neutral even compared to other technology. For example I made the decision years ago that there are some lines I won't cross for software development - one of them been gambling systems (even though they are quite lucrative) - (Note: I'm not saying they should be banned (that is not for me to say)) because morally I can't see an acceptable use that outweighs the bad. Same with weapons systems (though of course one mans freedom fighter is anothers terrorist).
