With reference to the case I mentioned (which seems like a decent border case to point out difficulties), what you want as a consultant is something that tells you "the likelihood of the event is bound to this and that", not something that goes "Oh, everything will be all right, dear". Outside figurative: truth (say, facts, or instances of computation) and comfort may not always be compatible.

> reasonably well

But I wrote «high-ranking professional». «Reasonably well» does not cover the cases relevant to full safety.

And, by the way, such attitude will backfire heavily on false positives.

Anyway: the case presented is there to point to a few difficulties involved in the idea of «not giving out dangerous answers».
