My guess would be that the people who think taking things apart is a
stupid
dangerous idea are those who had no strong interests in electronics or
engineering in general as a kid and only went into a technical field
for other reasons. I know this may be a gross over generalization but
I can't imagine someone who actually had a early passion for how things
work
to make such a statment.

Guess again. I just remember what dangerous things I did - and survived. Not
a smart way to learn. Why not show them how to build a crystal set, and
later to add some transistors to it?
