Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A man with glasses and a beard stands at a podium, speaking to an audience. The background has a light purple color. The man says, "…in sum, based on a decade of research into the history of science, I find that all technology is double-edged."

Panel 2: The man is interrupted by a person in the audience, who has blonde hair and a casual outfit. The audience member is asking, "What about single-edged swords?" The other audience members include a man with dark hair and a tie, and a woman with long hair.

Panel 3: The speaker looks surprised and contemplative, tilting his head slightly.

Panel 4: The panel transitions to a newspaper headline that reads, "SHORTLY…" followed by "PROMINENT HISTORIAN COMMITS SEPPUKU." Below the headline is a smaller text saying, "Is said to have used the one sharp side of the sword."

The comic centers on the ironic twist of the historian's conclusion about technology leading to an unexpected outcome.
