Risk is not that easy to quantify accurately. Probabalistic risk assessment (PRA) is as much black art as anything. Ultimately it relies on emperical data to make its estimates and as such has a wide uncertainty associated with it. The math is rather elegant, the conclusions based on data can be somewhat subjective.
Ah, but what about that 0.00001% that can actually do some analysis and share it with the rest of us morons? Most people don't read programming languages, yet it's a helpful check for people/hackers to read source code. And they have something to point to so they can approve/refute things point by point, not some nebulous hypothetical.
