Your first two points are well taken, but your last point surprises me coming from you. In effect, you're lamenting a productivity enhancer because it will cause "job loss." Typically that's an argument of the left makes--mechanization and productivity zaps jobs--but you know as well as I that productivity, or doing more with less, is the source of economics growth. And unless we all want to go back to farming, we're all better off for it.
