you genuinely 100% truly believed that you were building a bomb that would blow you up you would stop making it.

Utterly absurd claim.

It's been proven wrong for decades, repeatedly. You can't possibly be more wrong. This is as wrong as wrong gets.

Look at history of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.

that would blow you up

Emphasis mine. Sure, chuds are fine to take money for bombs used on other people, but if you genuinely believed you were working on your own doomsday?
