Of course that's what it's for. He's attempting to get publicity to spread the word about his possible exploit. And of course it has "in real life" caveats.

Of course that's what it's for. He's attempting to get publicity to spread the word about his possible exploit. And of course it has "in real life" caveats. He tried it in a closed simulated system. The idea here is that it is a possible exploit. Sure the media are a bunch of morons who just bounce from one headline to another, but not to treat this as a real possibility would be foolhardy. It needs to be tried in an controlled environment and mitigated if necessary (after real life testing)and feasible.
