The question then remains of why they would presume ignorance and not willful risk-taking in this particular case, which is what I tried to address here.
Oh, willful risk-taking ALSO gets a pass, or at least less-harsh judgement. The distinction is between “this is someone’s intentional outcome” for genocide, and “this is an unfortunate side-effect” for x-risk.
