I've had microscopic renditions of this kind of thing in my career. There's a cognitive 'dolly zoom' effect where there's an illusion of growth in a given risk because the field of view has been narrowed by the preconditions and/or assumptions that led you to consider it to begin with. It's like the risk of losing a winning lottery ticket. Broadly the risk is negligible, but when you zoom into the precondition of having won the lottery, it's a big fucking deal. |
