Pied - No, I was not accusing Oppenheimer of arrogance. Not at all. I am familiar with the original context in which he spoke those words.

I'm in agreement with you, in other words.

What struck me as arrogant was the narration behind a number of short videos I saw, footage taken of atomic test explosions in the 50's, mostly in Nevada and the South Pacific. I moved Oppenheimer's words (or the Baghavad Gita's words) into relation with those narrations in those videos.

I was not intending to imply that Oppenheimer himself was arrogant. He was not. He understood the moral complications involved in creating atomic weapons.
