Adam-I-Am,
You are bringing clarity to the debate as I see it. A large complaint or problem is with the business model (Monsanto as an example) rather than the science. The two need to be treated separately though some oppose the science as we all know.
The GM papaya, resistant to the ring spot virus, was a university development not a corporate development and as such it seems to be treated differently.
The mixing of attitudes between science and business models creates real confusion. If you don't like the science - oppose the science. If you don't like the business model - oppose the business model. mixing the two in a haphazard way doesn't help.

Assume the best and ask questions.
