> But for myself (and them) I'm willing to take the risk
I truly don't think you have the education, training, or exposure to the field to actually make an informed judgment about what such risks would be.
This isn't an insult to you, it's simply a fact of life: We can't all be subject matter experts in all things. This is precisely why regulatory apparatuses, licensure for the practice of certain disciplines, and product safety standards exist.
Ah, but there lies the rub. The regulators don't have the education, training, or exposure either. And crucially, they don't have access to my risk tolerance.
This is most obvious in anti-mask rhetoric from the top public health service in America but also is common in that regulators are safetyists. They will let a million die so that not one will die by their hands. That's okay for them, but not so much for me.
Haha, I'm pretty sure I know more than you do. Just reading Wikipedia doesn't make you an expert, mate. But please, regale us with your expert knowledge.
