I think your focus is a little off here. Deutsche is happy with GM (I don't think they discuss the dangers of open-air experimentation and chaotic spore distribution, though - but I digress) at the technical level. To be very Marxism-101 about it, Deutsche is as much as admitting that a technology with much potential to cheapen and grow foodstocks is currently not profitable. In short, production for profit currently equals the non-production of a technology with the potential to save and enrich human life.
Which sounds an acceptable account, no?
