Doesn't this mean that we shouldn't put too much weight on our intuition when estimating the long-term potential of nanotech?
I posit that if you haven't read and understood a significant amount of the core research papers on any type of technology, you shouldn't put much weight at all on your intuition when considering its potential. (This of course includes cases where there isn't a significant amount of research papers on a certain technology.)

I'm currently writing a futurology book which I hope will prove entertaining and personally profitable. If someone accuses me of relying too much on my intuition in areas beyond my expertise I will direct them to your comment.
