For some of us, it's been that way awhile...but I doubt that many people had reason to think about it much because most seem pretty unawares. That being said, we're suspicious creatures - at times - and as we achieve a greater understanding of those things that surround us in life it almost seems purely consequential that we would transfer our suspicion for things like -deep deep holes- to industrial processes. Not that we don't have reason to be suspicious, mind you...but I'm willing to bet that we would be even if we didn't.

Thankfully we're finding ourselves (more and more) in a position to readdress some of this stuff, do it differently going forward. Not quite there yet, but we at least have an idea of where "there" is, eh?
