Default Reasons to be careful

The point is, there's a low probability in everything. If you want to
worry about everything that is technically "possible" happening to you,
go for it. Enjoy that life.

That's the kind of severely flawed logic that inhabits the brains of
people who will never fly on an airplane but have no problem driving on
the interstate, even though the chances of injury or death are almost
unbelievably, exponentially higher when driving a car.


SWMBO has a friend who completely refuses to drive on interstate highways because they
terrify her, and instead drives only on secondary roads -- where of course the risk of fatality is
an order of magnitude higher.

Doesn't make sense to me.
