More Sagany wisdom. The precautionary principle or precautionary approach to risk management states that if an action or policy has a suspected risk of causing harm to the public or to the environment, in the absence of scientific consensus that the action or policy is not harmful, the burden of proof that it is not harmful falls on those taking an action. If we were to faithfully apply this definition, then we should never go back to our homes because we can not prove that hungry, dangerous, invisible dragons do not dwell inside. The precautionary principle places no limit on the injunctions against innovation due to boundless capacity for human beings to conjure up imagined albeit naively plausible dangers. https://youtube/watch?v=jJRy3Kl_z5E
