You guys may like making fun of Sampson, but he's being very reasonable. This
IS experimental. And goodness knows we have a track record of experimental technology acting in very unpredictable ways. Yes, we've made huge leaps forward, but there have been some collossal screw ups. The Tesla explosion, the Philadelphia experiment etc., etc., and countless others we were never even informed about. There is reason to be cautious and measured in our approach to this.
If they screw up... they at least have an out. They can spin it by letting the fundies call it the rapture.
