to represent a state of affairs, it is in the end as is everything, a judgment call.
I stand by the assertion that fluoride exhibits a DRC of benefits within certain ranges and consequences in other ranges that folks may variably value, I believe these benefits and these consequences to not be in dispute. I believe there is no mystery surrounding the ability of fluoride exposure to reduce tooth decay. I also believe there is no dispute that fluorosis and all of the various associated maladies represent real dangers.
So again, I believe potential benefits and potential dangers are not in dispute. I believe these to be facts well established.
I believe that is what I said last time.
You, it seems to me, have flown of the cliff of the notion that since one man has died from fire or one man has dies from a knife that all fire and all knives are bad.
I am simply willing to observe a DRC and do not require an all in/all out boogy-man end-game.
