How is it moot? TNT was a massive safety boost for the mining industry. The negative uses were developed/adopted after it was invented. "an invention has far more potential negative applications than positive ones." Emphasis mine. Do you mean to say all inventions have more potential negative uses? Even say a toothbrush? I suppose that could be true, but then you have to look at magnitude of impact and rate of occurrence to see that the potential negative uses like stabbing someone is low.
