    That painting on the wall could potentially fall and break in a hazardous way.

    … And become like a dozen knives I have on a block 10 feet away? Okay.

    The point is: regulation for its own sake is theater

    No one is saying that’s not true. Why say that as if someone is saying it’s not true?
