I am not sure we can draw definitive conclusions from a bad experience in the 60s anyway, in the very early days of nuclear energy. Think of what aviation looked like 20 years after the flight of the Wright brothers. You would never board a plane today by that standard.
If you're not above walking right up to the line that separates misleading from lying the state of bleeding edge tech back in said tech's early days is a perfectly fine source to draw definitive conclusions from. You see this kind of dishonest behavior across a wide array of subjects.
