We're in substantial agreement on many items, not on this one.  Of course I
hope
- if the Species is too stupid to do otherwise - that Deterence prevails

But I can't help remembering the "Titanic" was "unsinkable", that there have
been many nuclear accidents, a Space Shuttle explosion, and there seems to
be no safe method of disposing of nuclear waste.
