Hi Christoph,

I certainly cannot agree with you more that it is necessary to be 
careful, that it is better to be safe than sorry.

On the other hand, in this article 
http://www.forbes.com/sites/margiewarrell/2013/06/18/take-a-risk-the-odds-are-better-than-you-think/ 
Margie Warrell writes that: "We over-estimate the probability of 
something going wrong."

She continues: "We exaggerate the consequences of what might happen if 
it does go wrong. ... We under estimate our ability to handle the 
consequences of risk. ... We discount or deny the cost of inaction, and 
sticking with the status quo. "

I understood from the article that in her opinion there could be a risk 
in not taking one, in being too cautious.
