I believe that you are almost certainly mistaken in that view.
Why do I believe that? Because of your responses to some of the engineering and legislative issues that have been raised in these threads; it doesn't seem that you acknowledge the context that is being painted by others.
I may be wrong, but it's what I believe based on your posts.
Now, I'm NOT suggesting that the risks are inherently always unacceptable. Far from it, in fact.
Just that if they were, with your world-view you wouldn't be able to tell. Consequently, the risks you are in fact taking are not the risks that you think you are.
