If the accuracy of your biology claim is "hard to say" then why would pushback be self-evidently myopic?
You and others are making a claim about LLMs enabling biological dangers. Some people disagree with you, pointing out that the incremental knowledge an LLM provides over say google or a library card may not be that much.
What seems myopic to me is un-skeptically accepting "AI dangerous, must regulate" messaging from frontier labs that have trillions of dollars of vested interests in this message.

The former seems unlikely given how quickly open labs are catching up. The latter is much easier and cheaper. If you can't beat them, ban them.
