    No matter how many times you let that happen to a bacteria, as long as you’re killing them with a handgun, it keeps working. They don’t evolve defenses without becoming something different.

    So I guess it’s a bit metaphorgotten, but the point is that that’s only true if it’s a system where starting from zero to a billion is something that can be selected for, and it pretty much just is not.

        I mean, go for it? I’m sure the army would welcome the opportunity to invest in effective armor research, so if you can get it off the ground at all contact DARPA.
