I'm not advocating for or against any particular regulation. Whatever gets implemented should be well thought out, because it's easier to destroy upside potential than it is to prevent downside potential. I am aware of this.

All that I'm speaking out against is the mindset of the post I was replying to, where the onus is solely on the user of the tool rather than on the context (laws, situation, people) that leads to the invention of the tool itself. I believe this to be a misunderstanding/misattribution of causality, as well as contrary to learned experience.
