What is wrong with this argument? Isn't this the case for ANY new technology?

Didn't deaths by train go up once we started laying track?

Didn't death by cars start going up once we started driving?

Didn't crime become easier once gangs had phones to coordinate with each other?

This is silly. These tech CEOs have to understand nuance does not read well in headlines but still... for a bunch of "smart" people on HN to doom over this headline is silly.
