I've come to realize there are a percentage of people who are unable to visualize risk unless they have personally observed the issue. While others can visualize risk that has not yet happened.
I'm general those in the first group, while it comes in many forms, it seems to boil down to "What are you worried about, X hasn't happened". Trying to present it as neutrally as I can the two side seen to be "Hey you're playing Russian roulette, the bullet is going to hit you if you keep pulling the trigger, stop before it does and their response is. 'Nothing has happened so far why are you worrying about nothing?'"
The opposite perspective is "You worry about every possible thing that could ever happen. There are a billion things that could happen it's useless worrying about them all so just worry about the ones we've seen happen and are likely to occur."
Both have their merits and their downfalls. And I think these views have become more visible recently.
I feel more strongly towards one approach than the other, but I feel that often times people talk past each other because they're using fundamentally different frameworks.
So not weighing in one way or the other here. More just observing that this seems to be an instance of it between OP and you.
