    In a nuclear shooting war, the outcome literally comes down to percentages. If you can make the survival rate 20% instead of 15%, that could mean millions of lives spread across the population. When you are at a mass casualty scale, every possible life saved is vitally important. That’s why you do disaster drills on a wide scale even when the likelihood is small that any single individual will be helped by them.

      I guess that’s a different perspective than I was looking at it from. Thanks.
