To the best of my knowledge, you have no direct or credible evidence
concerning the ideological goals behind the technology -- or even that
such goals exist.

If you have it, bring it forward. If you do not, I suggest that paranoia
and FUD do not facilitate rational decision making.

This applies equally to everyone, and it applies to positive speculation
as well as negative speculation, so please feel free to point out to me
when *I* do it as well!
