Multiply all these probabilities together and you have a better chance at winning a billion dollars in a lottery you didn't buy a ticket for.

- diggan 3y agoYes, if I was a perfectly reasonable and logical robot, I'd agree with you. But I'm a 30+ year old human, with plenty of experiences that "should never have happened" and "that was once in a million odds" that I won't risk it. I'd love it if I could turn off the lizard parts of my body, but I cannot. I try my best, but when it comes to life/death, I just trust my gut over anything else.
- alkonaut 3y agoAnyone who would turn away from a MAX at the gate when they already bought the ticket, IF the relevant authorities (both US and elsewhere) say its safe enough, is probably not acting completely rationally but more on a gut feeling. That's fine. But it shouldn't be seen as some kind of demonstration of virtue or safe behavior (Especially if you get back in the car and out on the highway which is probably more likely to kill you)
