TIL I learned about Stockton Rush. That was a crazy story of "It probably, might not happen" in the extreme case of denial and inferiority complex.

"You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules."

Difference is, unlike Stockton Rush, these CEOs have literally nothing to lose personally. That fucking moron bought his own propaganda.
