I don't follow perfectly. Are you saying entrepreneurs don't have time to wait to find out that today's cockamamie scheme for turning $1 into $2 does "no harm"?

Isn't it funny that "stop that till we know exactly how much harm it does" is never really pursued as a policy option
More research is needed! the scientists cry as the entrepreneurs do whatever they like
And of course when what they are doing is proven deadly & regulated out of feasibility, they will have new unproven methods to turn to

Ah I see! I felt confusion cos for sure we have pretty conclusive evidence of the deep harm of many industrial processes but what you're saying makes sense
