Nope. Isaac Asimov was a biochemist, why would he be particularly qualified to determine whether robots are safe? Arthur C. Clarke had a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics, which technology was he an expert in? Heinlein got a bachelor of arts in engineering equivalent degree from the US Naval Academy, that's the closest yet to having an "understanding of technology." Which ones did he write about?
Holy shit, you don't know about the rise of interdisciplinary science in the 20th century, do you?
That generally involves training across multiple disciplines.
So you guys don't know then. Huh. 🤔
