And the same thinking would say that there's no need to ever change the 
oil in a car, just add more when the dipstick gets too low.  And no need 
to kill the weeds in a lawn, just keep spreading more grass seed.  And 
no need to call a plumber for a leak, just wrap it in lots of duct tape. 
  And no need for liability insurance for your house, as nobody's gotten 
hurt yet.  And no need to hire a programmer for a payroll program, just 
let Jimmy the receptionist write it in his spare time.

I recently talked to a small business entrepreneur who thought she 
didn't have to charge or file sales tax, because her business was still 
small.  Her accountant told her that was fine.  I told her to ask a lawyer.

Lots of obvious generalizations out there which are wrong, at least some 
of the time.
