I have an ongoing feud with a friend of mine where my part of the feud is to refer to him as a juggler as much and publicly as possible (He hates jugglers, and thinks they should all be shot, hence..)
As a joke I created a Wikipedia article with his name, and spent some time writing up an entry about the great juggler that he was. The plan was to send it to all of his friends. I submitted the article, composed an e-mail and refreshed the Wikipedia page to make sure it worked. The time it took me to write the e-mail was long enough for some editor to delete the article.
You are correct, which is why I qualified the statement by pointing out the human life factor. If human life is involved, and the risk can be mitigated then it should be.
Nothing is risk free, but when you are dealing with something that is irreplaceable, even small reductions in risk are worthy of consideration.
