It's both. We don't have tools like http://www.nanoengineer-1.com/mambo/
to produce parts, but we also don't have a bootstrap route.

I might have a 10^10 atom system running perfectly in the simulation,
but it doesn't help me one bit how to bootstrap it. Of course, with
a reality simulator one can also look into bootstrap route.

But the knowledge is arcane. It's would look like a really boring
video game. Don't see much motivation for the artifex wannabees.
