    While I appreciate the nitpick, I think it’s likely the case that “kills a bunch of people” is also something we want to avoid…

      Oh, certainly. Humans in general just have a poor sense of scale, and I think it’s important to keep aware of these sorts of things. I find it comes up a lot in environmentalism and the lack of nuance between “this could kill a few people” and “this could kill everyone” seriously hampers discussion.
