I don’t get how the articles “back you up” in this point

You’re almost insisting on talking to the people on a situation you know might negatively affect them and where they are stuck in the situation and that just seems odd.

What do the articles have to do with that?

That’s because you haven’t read them.

They have to do with the positive outcomes, which you continue to ignore, or treat as inconsequential.

A small chance of a negative outcome does not generally outweigh a good chance of a positive outcome.

youre almost insisting on talking

You insist on mischaracterizing my position. Asking somebody a question ir two is hardly as insisant as you keep making it out to be.

and that just seems odd

To you

  So you’re just gambling on their feelings, did I understand that correctly?

    I suppose so.
    
    And you have no notion about gambling theory whatsoever? Am I inferring that correctly?

    I don’t want to make anyone’s day worse. Gambling on someone else’s feelings just seems icky to me.
