>This is beside the point though. The government asks "would the average person be willing to pay $x to lower their chance of death by y%".

Okay, but surely you don't agree that Boeing should spend infinite amounts of money making their planes safe? For instance we don't install backup engines on the off chance that all 2 engines fail.

This was specifically mentioned in my original comment.
