4. So the argument is that being better than all alternatives is not enough.

Because of the intercession of magic, nuclear power must be perfect, and if it's not, we should accept that we do far more dangerous things?

Of course, I am familiar with such thinking. I've been hearing it for years. It's part of the reason that humanity is doomed: the feeling that we should not attempt to mess with irrational approaches to problems since doing so is unpleasant.
