* Can be potentially offset by wearing multiple {{favilink|telescopic monocle|plural}}, carrying a powered {{favilink|advanced toolkit}}, and having moderate to high [[intelligence]]
* Explosions may not be a significant danger at high levels with a lot of [[HP]].
* Other methods of identification exist that bypass Dystechnia entirely, such as [[Scanning]] or the identification effect of cooking with {{favilink|Sun-dried banana|plural}}
* Can be an effective mechanical constraint for a no tinkering challenge run.
