Abstract? Not at all Schmendrick, (What a brilliant name by the way).
I agree, while the formula for the atom bomb should be destroyed there will always be another that will 're-invent' it or develop a new system/weapon even more powerful than it's predecessor.
While something like that would be a smaller scale 'ring' to destroy as opposed to ignorance or misunderstanding, it would be something that would cause more of an affect on people afterwards, not that everyone being completely open-minded wouldn't but taking away a weapon like that could lead to political problems as situations may not be as easily resolved (not that an atom bomb does, but the mere thought of it...)
