In Chesterton's fable the people entrusted to road and fence maintenance couldn't find a reason for the fence while being in a world with the fence. Chesterton argues to try look at it from the world without the fence. If that has been done, fine, tear it down. If the total risk is miniscule, bulldoze it immediately. But, be aware that the risk for a vc funded startup might be tiny, compared to the risk of changing the rules of society.
