Default Example of the real problem ...

How many people have developed the brain tumors associated with cellphone
use versus the number of people whose lives have been saved because of the
use of a cellphone?

Think of all of the 911 calls that have saved folks' lives over the years
that the cellphone has been available to the public.

I am NOT saying that cellphone use is entirely safe. I truly do not know,
one way or the other, but, if immediate tumors or other cancers had been
developed during the all to brief preliminary testing of devices operating
at such high frequencies in close approximation to the human body, I feel
certain that said developers would not have rushed their devices into mass
production so quickly.

Risk versus benefit must be taken into consideration too.

Yes, exactly, back to the original intent of my original post ...

Maximize benefits, minimize risk, error on the side of caution, watch
out for yourself--trust no one to do it for you ... I believe you
present an excellent case.
