I don't know exactly what "persnickety" means"
. and I am definitely not trying to create strife or anything like that. But having a background in science, and witnessing first hand how some of the conclusions are reached, I don't just blindly accept what any academic,commercial or govt says.
If we get caught speeding, then we will absolutely get a fine, but sometimes it is worth the risk. (all the time for some people)
The determination that
freon damages the ozone coincided fairly closely with dupont's patent expiration and dupont's lobbying practices, make me question the conclusions of the dangers of freon
Would I base my business on releasing freon from old refrigeration systems? no. but I definitely don't lose sleep if I accidentally let one go.
It's a proven fact original conclusion of the 2nd hand smoke study was inaccurate and politically motivated. and that the risk of 2nd and smoke is less than many other risks that we accept.
There are many examples of wrong conclusions about safety of practices and materials
It is not a fact that asbestos will cause health issues. It is a fact that asbestos can cause health issues with enough exposure.
the Sun will also cause health issues with enough exposure.
I was using Binary to mean 100% good or 100% bad with nothing in between.
Anyway, I don't really have a dog in that fight, but it always surprises me on this forum that people (not me, I am too much of a wimp to quit my regular job) in a business that you have to be so original, creative and independent and have a huge amount of courage to carve out your living with no weekly paycheck or guarantees, can thoughtlessly follow the rules set by some panty waste college professor or desk jockey bureaucrat paid off by some company.
Just my opinion, best regards to everyone.
