Thank you for having your mind changed!

A lot of people fall into error regarding common sense safety on set...like I have heard people go on about how "brave" Lady Gaga was to throw her weight around to film her video in an actual thunderstorm because the outcome was "worth it" not realizing how many injuries, including potentially fatal injuries could have resulted on the crew. People tend to sympathize and uncritically digest what people they "know" and respect tell them versus the rest of us who are relatively faceless.

The particularly upsetting thing is I know people who have literally ruined people's lives and not only are they still working but overall they don't change. The presumption that someone actually feels bad and applies that later isn't my experience. At some level they find ways to self justify that what they did was reasonable and then they just blindly trust that lightning won't strike twice.
