I understand that this example is just an anaology, but there is a fine line that the author doesn't acknowledge between trying something new and difficult to stretch your boundaries, and taking too big of a risk that may compromise other aspects of your life. Taking any risks shouldn't be a flip-of-the-coin situation. Yes, the word risk is subjective so hopefully you can see how I interpreted it.

There are a lot of little things to forget about when you have no interaction with them.
