Building a house doesn't require using cheaper but more dangerous materials either but people try to, that's why we have regulations.

Analogies can be pithy but are rarely useful as an argument. Talk about reality.

analogies are even less useful when you make it to a widely regulated sector and seek anti-regulation analogies.

I am sure the construction sector is overflowing with grumpy people who feel like aspestos is the best form for isolation.
