Your guess is as good as mine. I’m not sure why you seem to think I’m an expert on the risks I mentioned.
You had mentioned them and I was taking the opportunity to soak up whatever information you had been able to glean—and whatever any observers happen to be aware of. Since you are aware of the risks and I hadn’t even heard of the bacteria in question you are more likely to know about how to correctly implement the knowledge.
As far as I can tell no one else in this thread is getting this sort of treatment :(
Is being treated as a tentative expert unpleasant for you? I usually expect people to enjoy being treated as most-likely-to-be-knowledgeable. It’s flattering.
On a technical note. No, I’ve been questioning Kevin, Gwern and khafra in approximately the same manner. If you are referring to the downvote of the great-grandparent I have no idea why that was there. I upvoted. Your response gave what information you knew and did so tentatively so as to allow correct calibration on the reliability of the knowledge contained therein. The appropriate response, and something that should be at about +2 unless it turned out to be grossly wrong.

Fair enough.
