22. The proof by analogy as a source of possible errors
The main idea is not only that there cannot be
analogies to the unique event, which has never happened - to irreversible
global catastrophe, but also that we do not know how to draw such analogies. In
any case, analogy can only illustrate. Possibly, it is useful to accept
analogies when they speak about a reality of a certain threat, but not when -
about safety.
