I have to agree I don't think the technology not to be used was the ASHPD, not sure what it is but it seemed to be something much bigger than just that.
The other thing I remembered is that in the commentary for portal Gabe Newell mentions that he feels this type of gameplay is in its infancy and they are looking for ways to expand it into other areas. I got the impression that it was the sort of thing they weren't trying to force but I could see a small segment of the next episode where you get to use the ASHPD before something happens to it etc...and given the context of the episode I don't think it would come off as too forced depending on how they do it etc...
Either way, as much as I enjoy the ASHPD I would rather they not try to force it and just continue with the natural logical flow of things. In other words stick to what has worked well so far. The episode 2 commentary mentions that sometimes ideas need to be shelved for long periods of time before being revisited when a better opportunity arises. I think that might be the case here and while I would love to see it happen I can wait for when it makes sense.
