While I agree that the fear for genetic modification is often unfounded, I don't think it's silly to apply more scrutiny to specific and specialized modifications such as with GM than with general, haphazard approaches such as used before. It is a case of "be careful what you wish for"; things have unintended consequences and they might be greater in the case of making a targeted modification without considering its context.
