Right... and so... why then was the technology continued to be given after it was demonstrated that it became subsumed into elitism?
Or... why did Ra bust out the "big guns" so to speak right from the start, rather than begin with technologies with less potential for harm- ala the pony analogy?

"What if you don't know" amounts to... a lack of wisdom. If one lacks the wisdom to discern the readiness of the student, perhaps one is not ready to be a teacher.
Quote:Good question. We're still finding out. The fact that we haven't blown ourselves up is a good sign, I think.
I agree, that is a good sign. The proof is in the pudding. If/when humanity can coexist with beings more advanced than themselves- with neither the desire to worship nor kill them- that will be the proof that we have learned the lesson.
Worship. War ship. Just an afterthought.
