    Yeah, I did think about including that in my comment as a caveat, but it’s obvious enough. This could be a good product for a very tiny number of people. There’s going to be an attempt to sell it to the average person though, and the average person should ignore it.

      Average people will ignore it until economy of scale kicks in

      Even if it doesn’t do shit if it is cheap enough people will buy it

      And only when abundant enough will people start messing with the tech and rebel against it’s premise by doing new things that hadn’t been conceived before

      Maybe parkinson’s could be smelt by it

      Or maybe someone smells the moon with one
