See Apok, it wold be straw man if I came in arguing against you. But you came in after me. Therefore it isn't. The debate never was on if it could be done in the future. It was on doing it now. When Drizzit posed the possibility of using orbital solar panels he never once said "Maybe in the future". He sated in the present. Therefore this is based around the present. I am not using straw man because the debate is on the present and never was on the future, therefore I am not misrepresenting you stand, you are misinterpreting the debate.
That is not an unscientific statement. It is a fact. If we did have the ability to have things like the ISS assemble themselves then we would use it. But we don't. Once again this is not about future capabilities, we do not know what the future holds, therefore we cannot SCIENTIFICALLY debate about its ramifications.
A long time ago, people would have never believed a computer as powerful as we have could fit inside as small boxes as they often do today.
Making assumptions like this is unscientific.
