Time makes no difference. If you're going to use a worst case scenario to argue your point, you need to accept worst case scenario's as talking points against your own arguments.
For example. Okay, the
possibility of an RDA rising is grounds to limit exploration and the commercialization of space.
I then argue, that the possibility of a chemical or viral outbreak as a result of the release of Pandoran fauna into or ecosystem as grounds to limit our planets exposure to xeno-botanical materials.
Both are worst case, both are unlikely. Yet one is considered good evidence and the other is not?
