It's funny though, reading those books it seems that Michael Crichton has deep disdain for scientists.

He had a deep distain for the privatization of science.

Ingen went all "move fast, break things" but with genetically engineered apex predators. Pretty much worked out exactly as expected.

there may be anti capital elements but it is a man vs nature plot with a suçon of trying to control something you dont understand or respect

Yeah, that's what the line about could vs. should was about.

While I'm fond of the anti-capitalist reading (and Spielberg's environmentalist one), with the context of the rest of Chrichton's books (particularly state of fear and next), I think the intent was moralism against genetic research

The bio science was averaging success. Not their fault that the IT dept fumbled the ball.
