"This is a silly argument. Science is the pursuit of knowledge." But the original article said more than that, it says "I wouldn't be here without science", implying science leads to positive outcomes. The comment you're replying to simply adds that science can lead to negative outcomes as well. "The nuclear disasters you mention could all have been averted through a better understanding of..." Not "Hiroshima. Fukushima." And if you mean psychology could be studied more to avert the need to use weapons, psychology is not the same type of science as cancer research. We can't conduct experiments e.g. "how will the leaders of NK react, if..." in the same way we can conduct experiments on cancers.
