I agree with the paper: the principle issue with GMO is the unavoidable, unpredictable systemic effects it will have.

P.S. I've already found several, almost verbatim, examples of the given fallacies right here in these comments.

I think publishing a book also may have "unpredictable systemic effects" (there have been several books that have radically altered the course of history), so it should be approached with extreme caution, don't you think? However, Taleb has published several books, so I don't think he lives like he preaches.
