While I have some sympathy for this perspective, what I have learned after decades in computer technology that the output of a computer model is generally little more than a reflection of the modeler — human behavior over the short term is wildly unpredictable. For me, someone trying to sell me on some proposition by claiming “the computer said it” is reason for suspicion, similar to claiming to have read the entrails of a chicken. Sometimes the best human intuition is led astray by some flaky computer model.

They do want you dead, or dying.

Don't be stupid and accommodate them, and don't take the shot (no matter what).
