If I give you the go-ahead to jump off a skyscraper. does that mean you have to? Does it mean you should?
Well, if you've held a skyscraper jump for 29 years and people are paying you for your services to organize the jump and trust you to put together a safe jump. And you have a long list of satisfied jumpers, then when you give me the go-ahead to jump then I'm going to trust you. I'm going to trust that you have the safety nets in place. I'm not going to think that because the skyscraper this year is higher than in past years that you haven't put stronger safety nets in place. I'm going to think that everything's ok because you are giving the go-ahead. It doesn't mean I have to jump and it doesn't mean I should. But most people trust the system and the system gave them the go-ahead to jump.
