The point is that "safe" and "reliable" are relative terms. At some point a person or committee made a judgement call to define and quantify these words, then made some rules up to standardize it. Some other person or committee will inevitably come to a different conclusion. And then they will argue and try to force one's standard on the other because clearly 'my conclusion is better than yours'. Now, we can continue to discuss who's committee is more right, but politics is frowned on here.
Fun fact #289
Although Po likes to cite random and irrelevant people as experts and attempts to discredit people that actually do have training and extensive experience in a subject matter he has never, ever, even once, provided his own experience, training and credentials to support his viewpoints.
