That is also another "technically correct but completely missing the point" argument used by GMO proponents.

The problem is not with genetically modification, the problem is with the scale that is done.

Moving goalposts is a common argument used by GMO opponents. People absolutely do disagree with the genetic modification. All the time. Even throughout the comment threads in this submission.

And if we want to talk scale, do you see corn that looks like wheat being planted and harvested? At all? Of course not - it wouldn't provide enough yield to be useful.
