Could just as easily have lead to the individual building a bomb, a good one, rather than gunning a few people down, eh?  Sick people do sick things.  Educated sick people do sick things,  very often leveraging their education as an asset in service of whatever it is they've decided to do.


I don't dispute the "could" part.  I dispute the "just as easily" part.
