The question is also: "Will this research have benefits?" If the conclusion is "well, you can get access to the water supply and the only means to prevent it is to closely guard every brook, lake and river, needing half the population as guards". Well, then it is useless. And taking risks for useless research is unethical, no matter how minor those risks might be.

I don't think that was the conclusion.
And what was? I cannot find constructive criticism in the related paper or any of your comments.
