Do you leave your house without turning the gas off? Do you drive your car without checking the tires? Do you eat meat without checking the temp?
No you make sure the meat, tires and gas supply are good or do you go around with all kinds of safety equipment for when it happens?
Most harness advocates are like people who sit on a couch smoking. Time and time again they fall asleep while smoking and the dear wife says your going to catch fire one of these days. Shazam it happens and then they take action. They now never sit on the couch without a fire extinguisher sitting right next to it. And to prove the wisdom of the new safety measure not long after they implemented it, they caught on fire again, but this time the extinguisher saved them.
After that they go on forums and tell everybody that unless they do the same they are playing with fire. They are by many the experts at giving advice on how not to burn your house down. I don't take gun safety advice from people who admit they are no expert when their advice is always wear a bullet proof vest.
