Predictable yet unlikely events (especially expensive) are what insurance is optimally for.
- blowski 5y agoExactly. It's unlikely to happen to you personally, but it's certain to happen to some proportion of the whole population in a given time period. That's what makes meteorites different - they're unlikely to happen even to the population as a whole.
