"but I can assure you, people _really do_ want to prevent harm to their children."

To what point though? Overprotective upbringings could delay development or produce adults lacking development in critical areas.

Absolutely.

I think the problem is that parental instincts are protective, and it takes a conscious effort to let go. Its easier if you understand enough maths to weigh up the risks rationally.

I wonder if this varies by culture, gender, etc.
