Calculus of Negligence/ Learned Hand rule. If the burden/cost of taking precautions is less than the severity of the harm times the probability of the harm occurring and you don't take those precautions (PL>B), you've breached your duty and may be held liable for negligence.

They don’t care if it’s real and you sourced your statement. It didn’t confirm their biases so of course you’ll be downvoted.
