Safety of life is not a boundless good. All of the good things around us come at some risk to life. Of course, the government's liability to overvalue safety (or to be more neutral, to inconsistently determine the value of safety) in a particular proceeding (be it before a court in a lawsuit or before a regulatory agency that might order a recall), is just another part of the calculation.
