As time passes, I find myself becoming more risk adverse; that is, actively avoiding risk.

These days I try removing the "low-probability / catastrophic" scenarios that, as a teenager, I ignored or was oblivious to. Like running across a busy street outside the zebra lines.

Humans have a tendency to overestimate themselves and underestimate the probability of catastrophe. If that were not the case, we would not see so much destruction of property from the annual "once in a 1000 year storms" or the periodic financial market meltdowns.

In your house, given the bulk of the equipment and amperage running about, an extreme abundance of caution at this stage makes all the sense in the world.
