Yeah, I agree that it’s easy to err in that direction, and I’ve sometimes done so. Going forward I’m trying to more consistently say the “obviously I wish people just wouldn’t do this” part.
Though note that even claims like “unacceptable by any normal standards of risk management” feel off to me. We’re talking about the future of humanity, there is no normal standard of risk management. This should feel as silly as the US or UK invoking “normal standards of risk management” in debates over whether to join WW2.
