You make a valid point.

How small does the chance have to be to make you sleep good at night? 1%? Less? And even then, who decides what the acceptable percentage should be if it could affect everybody?

Impossible stuff.


That was really the larger point I was getting at. We can't even accurately asses just how dangerous a lot of this stuff really is, we're only going to know after the fact (assuming we survive). So I say run headlong into the darkness, maybe we'll fall down a hole, but maybe we'll find a light switch.

That's the spirit!

I mean this seriously. Taking risks is what makes us so great.
