"No thing, whether it is a weapon, tool, or idea is dangerous. It is only people who choose to make things dangerous." "OK, but if the Curious Labs box fell off the shelf it wouldn't accidentally go off or slice you open. JMO." If you put a potentially hazardous thing on a shelf where it can fall and do damage, that is your choice. A Curious Labs box, falling from five feet, and striking with an edge or corner could do considerable damage. If it misses you, but you then trip over it and put your head through the monitor, it would probably kill you. Does that make the monitor dangerous? No, it makes you dangerous. There are people in this world who consider Poser to be porn. Those people are afraid of the responsibility that goes with any powerful tool. Responsibility lies with people, and nowhere else. Sorry...you pushed a button.
