That way industry opponents guarantee they can always argue that insufficient testing has been done. We heard a lot from them about perfectly safe alternatives. You can bet that any such alternative would meet the same fate. The chemical industry alone is held to this unattainable standard of testing till risk-free. Judges make bad decisions and they become precedents.
Cops strike illegally, endangering the public, and get rehired.
Every industry and profession is capable, through maliciousness or incompetence, of doing as much damage to society as the chemical industry. Most, probably all, have. Had Bill Moyers been held to the standard he sanctimoniously demands of the chemical industry, this special would never have seen the light of day. Bill may be a great guy and a good neighbor. But he is a lousy journalist.
