You are assuming that people will see that one is NOT using this type of questionable or even dangerous technology. Pray tell how one can impress by his own behavior on others, in this kind of situation, without addressing the issue directly?
In addition as the possible benefits from much of this technology or for that matter much of it becoming practically as neccesary as the light bulb, automatically gives pause to each thinking that he can personally evaluate his situation…….His, he may propose is different than his friends and thus his friends behavior is discounted.
