You’re not the only person to say so, and… I know. I left the possibility open in my response mainly because I wanted to focus on the other considerations without dismissing the parent comment. Even if the answer was less definitive I believe considering level and degree of risk should be a bigger factor in these conversations than what’s theoretically possible.
