Probably because the cost of blocking "is mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell" is nearly zero, while the cost of allowing "how do I synthesize the Spanish flu" is approximately infinite.

    I've heard this sentiment repeated elsewhere, but why? What makes you think that's the case?

    Under this rationale, every serious HS textbook has "approximately infinite" risk. That's clearly not so. Why is this any special?
