> safety in general
This is impossible. General words like "safe" and "good" are subjective, and useless in a technical context unless you ground the discussion by giving them specific definitions. Otherwise everyone ends up talking past each other.
Okay, thanks for debunking all good products, safe houses and clean water. I guess they are just products, houses, and water.
Good for what? A hammer is good for driving a nail, but not good for driving a screw.
Safe for what? My house is safe for humans, but not safe for tropical birds.
Clean enough for what? Our water is clean enough to wash my ass, but not clean enough to wash a telescope mirror.
Sorry but life is not a Disney movie where some things are unequivocally good/safe and other things are unequivocally bad/unsafe. There are gradients and conditions, and communication requires a shared language between participating parties to navigate them.
What nail? A hammer is good for driving a nail from the hardware store, but not good for driving a finger nail.
See? I can play stupid word games too.
How tropical are the birds? I'm afraid life isn't a Disney movie where some things are unequivocally tropical/not tropical. How shared is the language? Congratulations on using only two adjectives in your comment besides the ones you're complaining about, but two is greater than zero.
How much your is the house? Do you own it? Without any mortgage or lien?
