I don't really have an opinion on whether it's true. Just thought that OP misrepresented that passage.

My guess: a diverse set of backgrounds promotes features that are intuitive and convenient for a broader class of users.

Sure, but that's a very different take to "most experts agree it's a likely hypothesis". My impression is that scientists have consistently said it's possible, but quite unlikely, and unsupported by the evidence. Wo

We could for sure prevent a re-occurrence by cracking down on biology experiments and markets, going into permanent lockdown, stopping all international trade and transit, and so on. But very few people want that, so we compromise and prior

Sure, but resources are finite. The more we understand, the better we can prioritise.

Understanding how it happened could be vital to protecting against similar future occurrences.

I would agree that the lab leak is a good example, but for literally the opposite reason to you. Scientists are generally in favour of a natural origin: https://www.science.org/content/article/virologists-and-epid.

I didn't think the grilled cheese looked that bad. A little bit of char on the one side of the crust hardly makes it unappetising. Tbh you can't really tell how melted the cheese is. Sure it's not oozing, but you're neve

Yeah for sure, normally it's fine and more fun. But the potential 10th-percentile scenario can be much worse. I don't for a second judge parents that decide based on that.

Sure. I've camped at a festival with a 1 yr old. Even stayed in a campervan at a festival when they were 6 weeks old. I'm just explaining why parents might prefer the safety of well-known chain hotels vs whatever "fun" d
