I don't buy into the precautionary principle idea where it's like, if there's a chance of something going wrong we should take mitigation measures for it, if there's demonstrated harm, then yes, we should try to mitigate the harm and balance it against the value that's created... but I think generally the right thing to do is to wait until harm actually manifests.
