First time it really hits home how large the risk is. 1/6 is a rather large risk.

What does FM mean in this context? I already see it mentioned in one top level comment and in the first thread but I don't see a definition here or on the project page. Edit: after…

Common sense is a thing and what common sense can tell us absolutely isn't an extraordinary claim. Edit: By the way, what do you mean by threat level here? And FWIW, here I could h…

I'm fairly sure someone here can provide you with a proper citation, but in the meanwhile I was very much online here and elsewhere during that time and IIRC it was common knowledg…
