Basically, the idea is silly, and ultimately immoral. (If you could have done something that could have saved a life, and you don’t do it through excessive caution, you are just as culpible if you cause a death through excessive zeal). That said, I spend most of the post actually criticising an opponent of the precautionary principle who in my mind lacks balance the other way.
