I find this line of reasoning strange - it's like if we only kind of figured out how to do heart transplants on pigs, and then immediately went full steam ahead operating on people - because otherwise it would've costed the lives of people who didn't receive the operation

Are you sure you're replying to my line of reasoning?

Because I'm saying just because the goal is extremely worthwhile, it's not carte blanche to move fast and break things.

Really? That seems like a perfectly reasonable line of thinking (except of course, for uncertainty regarding pig transplant).

But lives killed by inaction should be counted!
