Fine, I'll be direct. Why does it appear that SpaceX failed at risk management in the presence of readily available data to suggest delaying launch?

You don't know what SpaceX's risk models show. They likely have to balance launch delay costs with launch risk costs, among other variables.

The US government says otherwise
> Who Is A United States Person?
>United States Person. United States person means United States citizens (including minor children); United States residents; entities, including but not limited to, corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; and trusts or estates formed under the laws of the United States.
Being pseudo-anonymous and safely behind a screen depersonalizes the experience enough that we get tempted to take swipes for some reason (I do too), and it diminishes the experience on places like HN especially where we aspire to do better than reddit or /.
The best test for this kind of thing is "If I were speaking to the responsible person face-to-face, would I say it this way?" Because then the question becomes "Do I want to hurt this person?"
