Bombs are no more a tool to kill people than rocks or knives are.

Are you claiming that overwhelming majority of bombs are used to cook and build? Please do share these intriguing cuisine and masonry techniques!

  He wasn't claiming that, he was just applying your stupid logic elsewhere.

  I think the majority of explosives are used for fireworks and mining, but I honestly have no idea how to get an accurate count of explosives set off in mining vs. explosives set off in warfare.

    I'm pretty sure that majority of explosives by equivalent TNT or by dollar value are used in nuclear warheads for strategic deterrence, and thankfully have never been set off. But it would an interesting challenge to estimate all of these indeed.

      I think you’ll appreciate the origins of the Nobel Prize. Alfred Nobel was born on 21 October 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, into a family of engineers.[11] He was a chemist, engineer, and inventor. In 1894, Nobel purchased the Bofors iron and steel mill, which he made into a major armaments manufacturer. Nobel also invented ballistite. This invention was a precursor to many smokeless military explosives, especially the British smokeless powder cordite. As a consequence of his patent claims, Nobel was eventually involved in a patent infringement lawsuit over cordite. Nobel amassed a fortune during his lifetime, with most of his wealth coming from his 355 inventions, of which dynamite is the most famous.[12] There is a popular story about how, in 1888, Nobel was astonished to read his own obituary, titled "The Merchant of Death Is Dead", in a French newspaper. It was Alfred's brother Ludvig who had died; the obituary was eight years premature. The article disconcerted Nobel and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. This inspired him to change his will.[13] Historians have been unable to verify this story and some dismiss the story as a myth.[14][15] On 10 December 1896, Alfred Nobel died in his villa in San Remo, Italy, from a cerebral haemorrhage. He was 63 years old.[16] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize

  No. If the point hasn’t already landed elaboration is futile.
