Scale matters. When you have the scale that we do, you will have accidents because of the sheer number and the lack of oversight due to cost pressures. These accidents aren't going anywhere. They have been around since industrial times and will continue to be so. Please tell me how you would ensure 0 accidents - the world would be interested to know since it hasn't been discovered yet. Now please explain who's position is baseless.

> lack of oversight due to cost pressures

Perhaps the costs of an accident should be increased to the point that it makes sense to have the oversight.

It's true, you can't ever ensure 0 accidents. But you can do things to reduce the rate of accidents and try to limit the peripheral impact of the ones that remain.

		"Perhaps the costs of an accident should be increased to the point that it makes sense to have the oversight." Not the cost of an accident, but the cost of preventing them. The cost to consumers is something people wouldn't tolerate.
