I assume we're all ok with how alcohol is regulated (no Latrin, you don't count) and none of us are under the impression that DUI-related incidents or people just being drunken assholes/idiots have been regulated down to zero. Does anyone believe that more regulations on alcohol would prevent more DUIs? I doubt it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against regulations on this stuff, but "more" isn't always the answer.
When the BAC level for DUI was reduced from .15 to .10, DUIs went down. When the BAC level for DUI was reduced from .10 to .08, DUIs went down. With that in mind, why wouldn't you believe more regulations would prevent more DUIs?
I trust that most people are out for themselves and looking to enrich their lives. That may often come at the expense of others. If you want to trust anyone who claims to be a professional based on nothing other than, "That's what they do, of course they know better"... good luck.
Paranoia is a symptom of psychosis, you know.

I think I am going to go look at shoes now.
Okay, but returning to the question: how specifically would your knowledge have protected you from manufacturing errors in empagliflozin? or almond milk? or bottled water?
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
