That’s not how logic works. You can’t prove something wouldn’t have been impactful because there were few ill effects after the downside has been reduced. The point is the downside was unknowable beforehand, and we don’t have a full list of all the fixes and what would have happened if they weren’t fixed. One nuclear issue having occurred in what should have been a safe and controlled context demonstrates that there could have easily been 100 nuclear issues, all in one night. This is what happened because the system wasn’t patched yet. Extrapolate to banks, payment networks, shipping, defence. Professionals don’t YOLO this shit. Many smart people were around making rational decisions.
