How disingenuous of them to say there is no risk!

All the more reason to not trust what CERN's paid flacks have to say. . . .
This ridiculous and frankly frivolous argument of semantics demonstrates that you have made up your mind as to whether or not the LHC is a "threat" and that you have chosen to not only not be dissuaded by facts, but to even stoop to even the lowest levels in order to make a case.

I recall watching an HB doing the same thing in the CT forum the other day...
