We aren't made of electromagnetic energy.

Yeah, I know what she said. But that's what I meant by saying she doesn't fully understand the science of it. Perhaps she thinks it's more magical, or atherial, or mystical than it really is.
Perhaps she thinks she knows what it is, that it's part of every man (probably because of her own exposure to/ experience with it), but I don't think she fully understands what it is. It has amazing properties, and it can be manipulated and perverted by men. She fears that men will try to harness it for themselves or use the properties for evil. This is the same thing Ben feared Widmore wanted with the island.
Again, I'm not saying I'm 100% right about this. I was just offering up one way of looking at it. Either way, I think the point is - this "light" is something special, some unique property and unleashing/uncorking it is bad.
Sort of like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. Who gives a shit
why it's bad. Egon said it's bad, so don't **** around with it!
