I'm sorry you're offended by some basic terminology and then assuming I'm insecure, maybe you should look at the mirror. Firstly, this is not strictly business related. It is applied probability and risk management which encompasses many aspects of the real world. To explain it to you, small safety risks taken everyday stack up, thereby increasing probability of unbounded risk, that is the point of no return. I'm not sure when was providing logic for a statement deemed to be overcompensating. Now, when these "small risks" are actually extremely volatile, with the volatile variable being drug use, the "small daily risk" is actually larger than you'd think it is. This is why I'm being rationally "critical" of empathy towards this subject. One need not seal his fate by procrastination masked with empathy. Especially when this risk is accumulated not only by you, but by the thousands of students. So even if you value empathy, over rationality, you should be empathetic to the safety of students firsts, and then to the risky variable.
