Agreed. Risk expert Nassim Nicholas Taleb (author of The Black Swan, and risk expert) makes the point here.

What the...?

When you want sound science you turn to a statistician, hedge fund manager, and derivatives trader for the truth? Really?

Let’s say each GM seed that’s produced holds a 0.1% chance of — somehow, in the intricately interdependent web of nature — leading to a catastrophic breakdown of the ecosystem that we rely on for life. All by itself, it doesn’t seem too harmful, but with each new seed that’s developed, the risk gets greater and greater.

Seeds are mutating everyday in nature. That risk is unacceptable, we need to eliminate that risk.
