Really good point!

Given how stupidly we humans update risk, this might actually work. I 
just spent the day in the stratosphere of insurance, and can report that 
even big insurance companies often adopt new forms of risk management 
only after a disaster has visibly occured (they blame the market, which 
doesn't want insurance against stuff it has not seen in gory detail yet 
- same thing).

"Dont try this at home" followed by a cool result is much more dangerous 
than somebody saying it and then walking into a combine harvester.
