I didn't even see that sentence until you pointed it out, Spirit. He's sort of on point with calling the artifacts nukes, but not the evil part. Nukes are frowned upon because not only do you destroy your enemy but also any innocents caught in the crossfire. And the fact that radiation can float in the atmosphere and affect nattions hundreds of miles away.

I think the reason they don't use the artifacts is because if not careful, you risk killing thousands of innicents and friendlies. The battle of Beacon was not a good time to use the artifact because there were so many civilians and friendly soldiers spread around fighting throughout the school. They all would be dead if they used it. Then they'd have to justify the massive loss of life to the general public.
