>As for "why would you assume that you can't swallow it?", I just don't even what to say. Don't just assume that you can safely swallow shit?

Because you can safely swallow things that look identical to them in every way, maybe? Would you rush your child to the emergency room because you found out they swallowed a ball bearing?

Fine, but you said that in the context of adults swallowing them, which is what I was addressing.

Sorry, they were successive statements. I wasn't actually trying to plead on the behalf of slow adults, but I probably wasn't being clear.
