Which knowledge you (and your favourite D.) are talking about? Is it the knowledge underlying the Frankengenetics?
O.K. we are the ignorant ones and you are the knowledgeable guy. Why don't you tell us, the simple mortal, everything about the Frankengenetics, like for example when you pump up a tomato with ethylene how it is metabolized afterwords ... to the very end, and with all the details, or when you make GMO maize of the unexpected how is the gluten of that maize processed ... especially when fried in another GMO maize oil.
FM, do you know which is the saddest news - the saddest news is that if you really are that knowledgeable as you claim, you would be able to pack a cap of powder with bone morphogenetic proteins and some carrier of genetic code and rehabilitate teeth, for example. Do you know why you are light years away from this and why you will never be able to do anything even resembling this at first approximation - because presenting some mumbo jumbo about genetics on the net is very much different from understanding the processes underlying & driving life,
... and you cannot even imagine how much more different it could be.
