Undermining them for the sake of accommodating a single outlier would result in much more harm overall.
The magnitude of "overall harm" is not an issue.
I simply adopted the axiom of "nothing is more important than a single human life" and came up with one approach to make sure that axiom is never violated. There may be better approaches.
Agreement on this axiom is a necessary first step. I'm not sure we have it. What a shame.
