- Weryj 2y agoYeah, I was about to say. We consider it safe because it’s tightly controlled and very centralized, but that has no connection to how safe it would be as a consumer product. Just because it contains the same material, doesn’t mean anything, because the methods of harm that could emerge have never existed. Ingestion, trash disposal, recycling contamination, the infinite ways you could accidentally destroy a device.
- jessriedel 2y agoOf course. But whenever you're balancing downside X against upside Y, and the downsize is now essentially zero, this is prima facie evidence you're picking the wrong trade-off.
