Of course I'm serious. After all, you claim that the radiation risk from me
is greater than the radiation risk from nuclear power. If the radiation
risk from nuclear power is so much less, then why are the safety measures
so extremely more strict? Logic dictates that higher risk requires more
safety measures, not less.
