Good analogy. I stopped responding after I understood some easily avoidable risks were totally acceptable to bandrami. That's not how my risk model works, especially when it's usually very easy to not accept such risks at all and the alternative would be a potential disaster.

I personally like to have my life/work set up so that I know what catastrophies _can't_ happen (the probablities can be compared to the effort required to boil oceans or waiting until the heat death of the universe).

Again, not "totally acceptable", but better to be limited to a single attack channel than multiple ones. You're just being willfully obtuse to ignore that.

+1. High-school curriculums should include something like applied Bayesian reasoning. Understanding dependent probabilities is an underappreciated superpower.
