No. I’ve probably been unclear. Please forget thalidomide. Thalidomide was just an example. Everything needed to understand my position is contained in the post you just replied to.

You've only been unclear on /why/ you hold your position.

>I also don’t sign up to beta software when there’s a stable or LTS release that meets my needs.

This makes sense to me! I've had issues with beta software before. I think there is evidence for this position, with regards to software running on systems that need to have good uptime numbers.

What I'm trying to figure out is why you hold that position with regards to medicine. When asked for an example, you provided one that I don't think makes the case. Like I said, I understand your position, I don't understand why you hold it.
