I don't come into that category! If I don't take on a contract then the job will go to somebody else and I don't get paid. Usually I get informal advice from Jetex who have other clients going in and out of all sorts of dodgy places around Africa.
It's absolutely fine if you want to go in and out of those places on your own without due diligence, but I don't think you should recommend to other people that you can "assume it's fine".
I didn't say they were risk averse or told anyone to not go.
