| Dec 6 at 4:45 | comment | added | Wyck | Would it be uninteresting/unsatisfying if the tech was overpowered? I mean, if the first thing they invented was the ability to prevent reverse engineering and just didn't tell anybody how it worked... what's your motivation for requiring an explanation? | |
| Dec 5 at 21:57 | comment | added | controlgroup | @U.Windl This is a very common type of post here. Dmyt is asking for rationalization as to why the tech can't be reverse-engineered, after establishing that it can't. That's perfectly reasonable. | |

| Dec 5 at 13:40 | comment | added | U. Windl | I find this question somewhat odd: First you claim the creations can't be reverse engineered, and then you ask us why it will be so. Kind of reverted logic IMHO. | |
