I snipped the rest of your post as essentially meaningless and certainly valueless. You have obviously decided what you want the sentence to mean and will defend that meaning in the face of all comers.
Much as you seem to have decided that the world is doomed if the LHC goes online and will defend that premise in the face of all science, math and reason. A rather classic example of, "My mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts."

Please do not include me in this. I chose your error in grammatical understanding as one you might actually acknowledge. I will not argue the science and engineering (and certainly not the risk calculations) with you as you have shown a propensity to ignore, dodge, or redefine anything that disagrees with your preconceived conclusion.

And you might want to hold off on smug posts like this until folks at least have a chance to wake up. Some of us do have better things to do overnight than reply to you.
