> Wouldn't super scientists, engineers, businessmen, salesmen or politicians be more useful to a state than a super soldier?
Soldiers are by social role, servants of government. Super scientists, engineers, salesman, and politicians all present different threats and competition to government. Useful to a civilization yes, but government isn't a civilization, it's people who are clinging onto a bucking-bronco for power and safety.
