| In the case of the type of hunt I'm describing, strictly following those rules will prevent anyone from being shot. I'm telling you and any other engineer or engineering professor will also tell you that there is a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) in any system. I'd love to say that this is my opinion and is a debatable point, but it simply isn't. It's just one of those facts of nature that simply cannot be argued with. Like 1+1=2 ... well I guess you can argue against it, though one doesn't know why. Now, your system may have a failure rate of 1:1000 years, but all that means is that one accident will happen some time in the next 1000 years. Maybe not until 3006, but maybe 2006 and not again until 3007. I'm not complaining about your rules for minimizing risks. I'm simply saying your rules minimize the risks, they will never eliminate them. |
