So now every scientist is just going to sound the alarm every time. How does that help anything?

  Or more likely every scientist is going to be extremely cautious and cover their ass when making public statements. That's a lot different than sounding the alarm every time. I get the feeling that if these scientists had not been so absolute in their vision of safety they would not have been convicted.

    If covering ass means saying something like "I predict <5% change of X happening" instead of saying it's not going to happen... why not. Maybe publishing more raw data for others instead of just a 2-word summary would be a good solution in general.
