    Thanks Shaun,
    I think that the image alone probably overstates the case here, as the full context is go slow "where there are indications of potentially serious consequences if we don't get things right" - i.e. its being responsive to early warnings that there may be dangers ahead rather than a generic "go slow". But point taken!

    Another fine Risk Byte. The only quibble I have is the closing comment that we need to "go slow". Perhaps an alternate way to make the point would be to restate this to be somwething like "measured pace". Or "don't get too far ahead of your guardian angel.

    well done. my only quibble is that sometimes to be cautious... requires action... not more research/time/inaction. For example, to be cautious in the face of a looming wildfire, the cautious thing do to (even in the absence of certainty of the future path of the fire) is to RUN of there as fast as possible. Thus, to employ the precautionary principle might lead one to action now, work out the details later. (e.g., a "measured", rational but better safe than sorry so act now approach to the potential of climate change to create uninhabitable situations in the future.) well done.

    There are dozens of precautionary principles, and they say quite different things. There is no answer to the question "is the precautionary principle good or bad" because the phrase "the precautionary principle" fails to refer to anything.

    It would appear that the precautionary principle was thrown out for the medical interventions
