And it will (almost) never happen. It is a "tail risk", small enough that we equate it to zero, although it is not zero. The problem lies in the fact that because we equate these risks as zero we take them regularly for very small benefits. It always seems worth it, until of course we find our car in a smoldering heap because carting the ipod around in our pocket for the day was too inconvenient.
