this network is probably the 8th man-made wonder of the world. it makes the Great Wall of China seem benign by comparison.


> seem benign by comparison.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/benign , definition 3b: "having no significant effect : harmless"

How about 'disruptive' by comparison?
