Object to the characterization. Other than that, I'm at a loss. I live in a world of risk management, and from that perspective a "worst case" scenario is always a valuable piece of information. The sky only has to fall once, the wolf only has to be there once, and then it's game over. You folks toy too lax with such risk, I only urge precaution. If you insist on parlaying that with ridicule, all I can do is roll my eyes, do a quadruple facepalm, and step away.
