The funny thing is that humans are "so good at it" that they don't really need the new fangled approaches with the higher risks. We have been doing "conventional" genetic manipulation for thousands of years. Compared to that, our relatively short experience with direct genetic manipulation really doesn't hold up.
The "conventional" approach just takes longer and confers no monopoly benefits to any herbicide mongers.
