Yeah pretty much. If I was to write it out further: "near infinity bad thing could happen but it has a near infinitesimal chance of it happening, what is the amount of finite resources you should spend to prevent it?". The numbers are probabilities and how much of an effect it is. It really is infinity * epsilon but that would confuse more people so I decided to say infinity * 0.
I was very explicit when I said "humanity decided". It doesn't matter if one or the other is the actual formal system math system result either way, it was chosen out of practicality that in this kind of philosophical issue, the more pragmatic thing was to axiomatically choose that "infinity * 0 = 0" when faced with things like this. The rationalists in a more meta/broader sense have decided that it's infinity * epsilon = infinity even if they say it is not on the surface. Their actions show they believe the other direction.
In math infinity * epsilon is indeterminate until you decide what the details of infinity & epsilon is, which I find quite fitting.
