Quote #4
KRUGE: We are going to this planet. Even as our emissaries negotiate for peace with the Federation, we will act for the preservation of our race. We will seize the secret of this weapon, the secret of ultimate power.
KLINGON: Success, my lord.
Didn't take us long find those unintended consequences, did it? The Genesis device can create life, but it destroys whatever previously existed on the planet, meaning it can be repurposed as a weapon. Kruge sees Genesis' weaponized potential and decides it is something he wants. We bet he's the kind of guy who would totally clone a T-Rex, too.

SCOTTY: Aye, sir. The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain. Here, Doctor, souvenirs from one surgeon to another. I took them out of her main transwarp computer drive.
In a universe as technologically advanced as Trek's, power comes from the ability to use technology. Kirk and his crew succeed in their missions, including this one, not from strength but intelligence—i.e. their abilities to use and manipulate the technology around them.
Quote #6
DAVID: I used protomatter in the Genesis matrix.
SAAVIK: Protomatter, an unstable substance which every ethical scientist in the galaxy has denounced as dangerously unpredictable.
DAVID: But it was the only way to solve certain problems.
SAAVIK: So, like your father, you changed the rules.
DAVID: If I hadn't, it might have been years or never.
SAAVIK: How many have paid the price for your impatience? How many have died? How much damage have you done? And what is yet to come?
When Kirk cheated on the Kobiyashi Maru test, the worst case scenario was a slap on the wrist. When his son cheated on the Genesis project, the worst case scenario was a horrifying weapon of mass destruction. See the difference? Despite Star Trek's love for technology and science, it is quick to remind us that these advances should be made with careful consideration and the utmost of scrutiny. Otherwise, you know: boom.
