You know, history often divorces itself from the human impact of events.
Alexander the Great was super good for humanity. Connected the East and West. He also killed a whole lot of people. If you were alive back then, there's a good chance someone you know would be dead as a result of his actions. The Mongols were awesome, they overturned the old world and ushered it into the new. They also killed 40-70m people, 10% of the world's population at the time.
The human impact of things like this may be ignored from history, but it's a very real, and very important effect that is certainly a con. "The weak must die for the race to advance." Couldn't help but be reminded of this;

No. I'm saying that we don't know what impact it'll have, so it's stupid to assert anything as absolute as 'there's no cons'.
