We can break down the composition of it very precisely and have lots of information about each molecule present in it. It's not some big mystery. And it's not invalidating for a safety study to be rat based if the rats are more sensitive to the molecule than humans...

But it may invalidate it if rats are unique among mammals in suffering any harm at all.

That doesn't really invalidate a 'safe' result.

(it's not a particularly useful result at that point, I agree)
