All of these things are missing the main point.
Before allowing humans to leave: no risk from humans who have left.
After allowing humans to leave: that risk exists.
And I think that's where the laser-focused little bean-counters will stop looking.
How its severity *compares* to other risks is immaterial. Whether there are *similar* risks is immaterial. Whether it reduces some other risk is meaningful ONLY if the reduction is greater and shorter-term than the risk it introduces. When someone is talking about the risk of traffic fatalities, it's kind of silly to point out that the risk of airline fatalities is worse if people don't wear seat belts.
