I take plenty of risks greater than 1 in 1,000,000,000.

If you're in the US there's a 1 in 15,000,000 chance you'll die at work today.

The chance of penis fracture during intercourse in any year is about 1 in 100,000,000. I can live with that.

That's exactly what I'm saying. You choose where you take risks, and I'd risk penis fracture every day, but think can postpone a phone call a few hours for the sake of 200 people at 10.000 feet.
