Well, I see what you're saying, but to me it's more like buying a Ferrari and refusing to drive it, fearing that you'll take it up to 120 and either crash or get an amazing ticket.

IMO, that's different from buying a high-powered car, but driving it skillfully and responsibly.

And if someone is too terrified to back the Ferrari down the driveway, then it's probably a good thing to leave it in the garage!

OK, I've tortured this analogy farther than necessary.
