I was talking about proactively recognizing and managing risks. The commentator I was replying to was quietly switching to a view that blinds itself to risks by focusing on situations where _in retrospect_ risks turn out _not_ to be realized ("leaves the status quo unchanged"). That switch is the mistake.
