Inexplicable? Are you joking? I'm not sure an aversion to the deaths of billions is a prejudice. It seems to me to be good moral sense. That said, the Eichberger Foundation has a specific historical reason to feel this way: the destruction of Earth, Mayflower and Orinico with CT weapons (although Earth may have been an accident).
