I don't know the concrete answer to your "what if,' and I don't think you or the author of the article do either. That would be a question for Carbyne.
I would speculate that there is an answer, and that neither you nor the author are the first to think of these problem scenarios. There's design, engineering, and real-world testing involved.
“Well I just trust they thought of it” isn’t good enough.
If you're unsatisfied with my answer, then maybe consider asking them. I'm just a guy writing comments on Lemmy.
