Reply #52: Obviously the "adding up" is a bit beyond you.

Once again... the amount matters... not just the fact that it "adds up".

If a given event exposes you to 1/10,000th of the amount that you get from an x-ray.... then you have to do that thing 10,000 times before it "adds up" to that one x-ray. If you eat leafy greens three times a day, 365 days a year and the contamination never goes away... you're still at only ~1/10th of that x-ray. You get dental x-rays every year, don't you? They "add up" too, don't they?

Once again... why aren't you running away screaming when your dentist tried to give you that x-ray?

It's like you're saying that a penny a day costs you more than $1,000 once a year because the penny "adds up".
