way ahead of you, Dr. B-L
They’re called “brains” and “scientists.”
Dr. Frankenstein said it best: “It’s alive!”
now that the monster exists, don’t go telling everyone to lock their doors. you should have made it “read only” from the start and only gave five people permisssion to “write.” but you didn’t, and now look what happened.
all you can say now is, “Run for your lives!”

There is no one scientific agreed basis for anything.
