@feld @feld yeah, sure, that's correct. That doesn't mean that introducing non-sterile GMOs into the enviornment isn't flat-out pollution

@alrs @feld

This is a common misconception - that some GMO plant can suddenly take over the whole area or something. This doesn't work this way - no cultivated plant is better adapted to the local biosphere than the local wild plants (we call them "weeds"). This is precisely why farmers need to put a lot of effort into weeding to keep their plants cultivated. Leave a nicely cultivated orchard for a decade, and it will all turn back into wilderness.
