As it is, both you and I are posting based on hunches.
My postings are based on science, regulations as well as common sense.
Common sense has to be validated by statistics. Otherwise, common sense is
wrong.
As far a science is concerened, science is not a system for risk
assessement. It is a system for understanding how things work. Thus, one may
validly use science to determine how a cheater plug could cause a fatality.
But it cannot answer the probability of that happening. The actual risk
depends upon awareness, statistics, safeguards, and human behavior, as does
every other activity of human endeavor.
