People take the worst case because statistically it will happen to someone. You can't average risk in your life like you can with insurance.

Additionally, for laws like this that specifically take away democratic control this argument is entirely moot.

Any claimed benefit or justification is entirely nullified for regular people if their oversight and transparency processes are being negated.

Knightian uncertainty I certainly can. True uncertainty, you typically do assume worst case but that's a risk posture choice.
