All true. The 'societal risk' captures the need to be seen to do something, which is the unfortunate position we've got ourselves into.
You are wrong, however tongue in cheek you may be trying to be. Addressing a societal risk
is not just about being seen to be doing something.
There are societal risks associated with nuclear power generation, bulk fuel storage, chemical plants etc. they don't just have to be seen to be doing something, they have to actually reduce the risk, often disproportionately so, because of the potential for wider damage to the industry.
So, should the worst occur, eg MAC with CAT then the RAF's (and other Mil aviation) freedom to operate and train within UK airspace would be massively reduced.
Not a difficult concept, just take off the blinkers and think about it.
