>if that delays things by X years, then that mean X times 40k people will die. >That's the tradeoff. No. With the unknown value X (and numerous other, very relevant unknowns that you have conveniently omitted), that is not a trade off. That is speculation...No, that is worse than speculation. That is just wrong. That is like some one saying "Hey you, you are so unlucky that you might kill X number of people every year if you drive a car, so you should not drive a car. Are the lives of X people really worth risking just so that you can drive around in a car?". See? without the value of X, that is just meaningless. You just can't plug in variables and construct arguments as if they are of certain values and with no sort of quantification. That is like..fundamentally wrong....
