Perhaps not. Consider this: over the long term, they might help the North Koreans replace an existing despotic tyrant with a mythical one. They'd be one step closer to dispensing with the whole idiotic idea of letting a dangerous maniac guide their lives!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
