...doesn't work. Sure, our formulation does, but the original does not. This is not because the assemblers themselves wouldn't work; It's because building a large object atom by atom is horrendously inefficient. Consider you want to make a metal ruler. Would you rather put it together atom by atom or just cut it out of a larger block of steel? This would make assembling from feedstock less efficient than traditional manufacturing in some cases, even in our version. Consider that.
My lifelong goal: To add "near" to my "baseline" classification.
Lucid dreaming: Because who says baseline computronium can't run virches?
