They have to be pressed to consider the disasters and how to prevent them,

Nope! This only demonstrates that **** happens. The fact that despite

You should consider a course in Logic, Jack -- TAKING one; not
TEACHING one.

The salient question, of course, is: would these problems be MORE or

QED, yourself ;-)

easy to pass a regulation about it. And the regulators never say "we
screwed up, maybe we need to rethink this".
