I'm more than happy to say that the Earth is infinitely valuable. But I personally think that the threat from the LHC is infinitely tiny and I think multiplying those two numbers together as a way of making a decision is nonsense. I think there are much more probable threats to worry about.

And I have said what would make me think that the LHC was safe: just run one beam at a time.

That was not my question. I was not asking how you would run the instrument (it was pointed out that the LHC could not operate like that, you might as well not run it). My question was, what piece of information would convince you that what CERN is doing is safe. My take on your comments is that nothing will convince you.
Look, it is not up to anyone at BAUT to decide to run the LHC or not. I'm not worried, you are. I don't know what to tell you so you are not worried. I don't see the point to further debate. But don't let me stop you.
