   * //Metal is not better than meat, just different. Autologous cloned body parts are available in almost every situation.//
   * //While cybernetic implants themselves can sometimes be relatively robust, they still attach to nerves, flesh and/or bone.  You may be able to override the sensors in your artificial hand in order to crush a cue ball, but you cannot pick up that truck/train/vending machine.//
-  * //In addition to being vulnerable to taser-style electrical effects, cybernetic implants are also vulnerable to things like EMP and induction heating.//
+  * //While military-grade vacuum nanodiamondoid circuitry used for some cybernetic controller systems is relatively well-protected against EMP, artificial muscle, motors, sensors, etc... are still vulnerable.  Additionally, artificial muscle is still vulnerable to Taser-related effects.//
   * //Cybernetic technology, while impressive in some cases, has not advanced to the stage where it can replace damaged/missing brain tissue or otherwise enhance or replace the brain's functions.  Likewise, the contents of your brain cannot be uploaded, destructively or otherwise, into a computer.  Brain death is still permanent at this time.//
