Discretion is the better part of valor.
It is wise to be careful and not show unnecessary bravery.
The Titan submersible incident has been daunting the world since last week . Is it worth to risk lives for unknown exploration? Was the faulty hull material induced the catastrophe? Wasn't the material questioned by other experts?
I 'd say it is not worth to risk lives to proof the material uncertainty. Technologies have enabled humans to minimized such risks. What is behind the scene? I learned not to show unnecessary bravery again.
The wealthy passengers might consider it a joy ride with little knowledge about the risks. The business owners might not think much about the consquence of material failure after all until it happened so one co-owner and his son also went down. I guess there is no damage control can be done under such extreme condition.
James Cameron has made 33 dives himself to the Titanic wreck. The world knows him as a movie maker. But he is not necessarily a pure romanticist. He is also a scienctist, engineer in several areas.
He has taken more chances than most people, guess he must evaluate and manage the risks well in every move.
knowledge is power & discretion is the better part of valor
