That's kinda like saying we can release the tiger from the cage because it hasn't killed anyone while it was in the cage.

- pqtyw 6mo agoNo? It's like saying that its safe to have more zoos with tigers because tigers pretty much never get out of their cages and get a to kill people unless there is some massive fuckup (i.e. you let soviet engineers supervise your tiger)

It's like saying that its safe to have more zoos with tigers No, then the original statement would have to have been "we should keep paying big bills so we can have safe nuclear", but it wasn't. To be more direct, using statistics about incidents to claim something is safe a fallacy. Something extremely dangerous that is kept safe through effort and expense won't appear in the stats until you remove the effort and expense.
