While I disagree fundamentally with the premise that people should be kept away from useful tools, I think that there is an understandable fear of dealing with the fallout of certain demographics having access to tools.

Unfortunately we have a lot of people that despite an abundance of ignorance are arrogant enough to think that they know better than most, but still are incapable of applying basic logic and critical thinking in their reasoning. (which if you think about it is sensible, since wisdom is largely a matter of comprehension of the depth of ones ignorance)

These people are a huge PITA to work with and every tool they wield inflicts pain on those trying to help them.
