@baldur and like... asbestos is an amazing insulator & fire proofer. lead is straightforwardly useful for countless things. all that stuff that 3M et al. have churned out that now shows up in every water supply and bloodstream is *super* useful. too bad about, you know, all the poisoning.

i wish we could talk about computational phenomena more like we talk about lead: yep, sure is useful if you don't give a shit about the nervous systems of your children.
