I mean, he /could/ be right. He probably isn't but he could be.

Nano technology doesn't refer exclusively to like nano robots it could also just be infused with nano particles of something.

    Well, there's a lot of particles that are "nano" in size. And "nano" isn't a size; nano is a unit prefix.

    Even the earth is smaller than 1 nano parsec. So the meaning is irrelevant when earth is a nano "particle" (on the parsec scale).

    Meaningless jibber jabber.

    Pedantic. When people say micro-scale/nano-scale they mean "measured in micrometers/nanometers". So a nanoparticle is a particle with a size that makes nanometers the most convenient unit.
