what i can't understand is a lot of people do not seem to know the difference
between real risk and,potential risk. this is what i was taught to understand
what they mean and why they are different.
real risk.
you are driving down the road and you approach a set of railroad tracks.
you are a block away and the lights start flashing and the crossing guards
come down. what do you do?
1. stop and wait for the train to pass and,when its all clear proceed?, or,
2.proceed to go around the barriers in an attempt to cross the tracks
before the train arrives?
the correct answer is 1 of course. why?
because those are real blinking lights and crossing guards blocking
real railroad tracks that have a real train approaching the intersection
that if you are not fast enough will hit you and really mess up your day.
potential risk.
you are driving down the same road. you look at your watch and realize
that same train will be crossing the road in 1 minute. you are still a mile
and a half away but,you stop any way to avoid any potential risk. why?
well because a defective rail could cause that train to jump the tracks
hitting you any way and,if one of those propane tanks explodes it will
wipe out everything in a quarter mile and send shrapnel even further.
so thank god you stopped where you did because you avoided any
potential risk by eliminating it completely.
so the question becomes,has e-juice's train jumped the tracks allowing
that propane tank to explode?
