    The difference is that a hand grenade is illegal to own. A series of matrix multiplications is not.

    A better comparison is a knife. If you throw that in the air and it lands on someone you are responsible, the person who sold you a potentially dangerous but legal tool is not.

    Edit illegal, not legal. silly mistake

          Ok, but if time and time again, it proves that this does more harm than good, much like firearms, shouldn’t the person/company that made it be held to account as well as the operator? I’m not saying that it IS the case, but it should be.
