To rephrase the question - are you prepared to slightly increase chances of injury of your family for the next 5-10 years, if leads to drastically increasing their safety after 5-10 years, and forever after?
You have to be quite shortsighted to say "no".
- mijamo 9y agoThis is not rephrasing, this is changing the question to something completely different and wrong. In addition, not providing any data there or alternative is just misleading. Ex: I would NOT accept increasing the risk by 10 in the next 5 years to reduce it by 30% afterwards. I would NOT accept increasing the risk by 2 during 5 years if we could instead just increase it by 5% during 10 years and get the same result. I would NOT accept even having the same probability if we could first learn more and take 2 more years and a few billions to get a more stable technology before launch.
