Comparing your childhood antics with my lifetime's experience is false

I think the point is clear enough.
It's clearly fallacious if that's what you mean.
Bill
your point that not being harmed equals safe certainly was.
I think we can agree on that.
My point being twofold. One, that where a risk has been shown to be
effectively non-existent by the situation occurring many times without
harm befalling man or beast then it should be treated that way, and two,
that having assessed and used countless mains extension leads without
harming the afore mentioned man or beast, I am de facto qualified to
test mains extension leads.
