A lot of people are taking issue with the fact that you need to say yes for progress. I don’t know how one could always say no and expect to have anything done.
Every kind of meaningful success involves negotiating risk instead of seizing up in the presence of it.
The shuttle probably could have failed in 1,000 different ways and eventually, it would have. But they still went to space with it.
Some risk is acceptable. If I were to go to the moon, let’s say, I would accept a 50% risk of death. I would be happy to do it. Other people would accept a risk of investment and work hour loss. It’s not so black or white that you wouldn’t go if there’s any risk.
