The "good" thing about dangerous chemistry is that it is dangerous, first and foremost, to the chemist. Inspiring some caution in the majority of chemists.

The bad thing about dangerous tech is that it is usually someone else who gets hurt, and the technologist is affected last or not at all. Predictive policing? It's not going to be rich white guys who catch the pointy end of that stick...
