Reply #35: Also a fallacy.

[FBaggins]

You don't have to claim zero risk in order to state that someone else's assessment of risk (like your frequent implication that ANY amount of risk means that it WILL eventually happen) is ridiculously high.

And yes, when assessing HOW ridiculously high it is, comparing the technology in use to that which failed is nto irrelevant.

The ONLY legitimate reason to exclude such discussion

There's NO good reason to exclude a discussion of the risks involved... but there is also no legitimate reason to limit the discussion to "there WILL be another Chrnobyl eventually if you support nuclear power"
