That is a very strong claim to make without presenting any evidence. Within the context of this and other posts, it is nearly comical.

Your tone is hurting your argument.



That aside, I don't see as much value in this patent as others might. On the other hand, I'm relatively confident that it is a (potentially ineffective) tool, not a weapon.
