 Shortsighted argument!
 What IF a geneticlly engineered organism proves to be fitter?
 Fitness depends on the environment.
 By the way. Do we need those crops? Today's industrial vegetables
 taste generally not overwhelming but look exciting. What will happen
 if the whole power of genetic engineering will be applied? Better
 tastig Tomatos or better looking (or cubic)?
