People in society are disagreeing about the accuracy of the devices and arguing about it. Kinda circular logic to insist that "this law is about the be passed, therefore it's the will of society, and therefore is correct."

There was also a time where people suggested that vehicles replacing horses was unsafe. They were, of course, correct in a sense, but tended to ignore the decrease in horse related accidents. There was also a time where quite a number of people believed that the human body couldn't cope with speeds over some arbitrary number. They also were proven to be incorrect - mainly because technology enabled people to travel faster and then subsequently made that travel safer.
