Okay so I was going through the headscratchers page. I generally love the insights each responder brings. But one thing on the institute and all the Fallout organizations is that they start with a lofty goal. Then drop to amorality. The whole question on the synths. Look at Nick. He was a transferred mind to a new near immortal body. But perhaps blending more organics is the key. Father was just another donor when they collected him. Not a director. So they changed direction over sixty years. What started as a chance for immortality was repurposed to drones. Infiltration is being designed by people who have no idea what infiltration is. What I would like to ask is how a parallel noted on the guns. Institute guns are not as good as pre-war lasers but look cooler. Was not considered for them? Every argument they have made for their own methods seems to be summed up with. They are operating in a vacuum. The old world wiped itself away. So we must remove all information on the old world in order to do better. Instead of 'What did they do wrong' it simplifies to 'they were wrong'. Mathematically neat, but failing in the real world.
