How can we be sure that they won’t “escape” and infect a much broader class of systems, or be adopted for other uses, or that future rogue states or terrorists won’t find a way to turn them on their creators? No economy is more vulnerable than the US, and it is arrogance to believe that US cyber superiority (to all except perhaps China) provides it with impenetrable security from attack.
如果世界上最先进的政府都在研制计算机病毒，那么还有什么能够保证不会出现差错？我们怎能肯定它们不会“泄露”并感染更大范围的系统，或者被转作其他用途，再或者未来的无赖国家或恐怖分子不会利用它们反过来攻击它们的创造者？没有哪国经济比美国更加脆弱，认为美国（对除中国之外所有国家）的网络优势在攻击面前坚不可摧仅仅是傲慢而已。
