    wow. While I don't deal with 'death risk' in my current role, I've been there, done that.
    It is true that small things get blown out of proportion by emotion when you're not in a zero tolrance environment - and even then...prioritization is based on probability (actual and perceived). Emotion blows facts out of the way.

    I wonder how ISO 2015 risk based thinking will be used - and abused - when auditors look 'back' at our thought process when they find a serious complaint or event?

    Exactly for the same reason, I wonder what Nassim Nicholas Taleb will have to comment on the risk based thinking.:)
