What is it with people?

They always want to focus on the worst-case scenario.

Sure, if you get wolf pups for your kids, there’s a chance that the wolves will eat your children. But that’s the worst case scenario. Anyway, the wolves are unlikely to eat more than one of the kids.

And, hey, what’s the best-case scenario? Your kids will go on to found Rome. Weighted against that possibility, don’t your worries about kids being eaten seem kind of trivial?

  1. Since Rome already exists, wouldn’t you have to reformat and reinstall over the existing Rome to fulfill the Best Case scenario?

    I think that might have significant downsides…

    I believe you are more convinced of the downside of reformatting and reinstalling than I am.

    Rome has been reformatted and reinstalled several times already, but never very well.
