All business is about managing risk. Wikipedia defines risk using these two formulas. There is the first definition of risks which are high probability but have little, or low, economic impact. The second level of risk is the catastrophic risk that is very low probability but will have massive economic impact. Think about Washington Mutual or any number of banks over the last 18 months, this is the kind of risk that they assessed but determined was so unlikely as to not merit too much consideration.
Which leads me to the concept of the boiled frog. For those of you who don’t spend a lot of time cooking frogs, you may not know how to actually a boil a frog! If you put a frog into very warm water (not even hot) the frog will instantly jump out of the water. However, if you put a frog into cool water and slowly turn up the heat the frog will not react to the changing temperature and will die as the heat slowly intensifies. Agencies are boiled frogs. The heat continues to rise, the models continue to change, and agencies have assessed that the level of risk is so low as to not merit a quick jump into a new model. By the way, if you read any of the latest catastrophic environmental news, you’ll read about how the frogs dying is evidence of the massive global climate change we’re experiencing. I only mention it to ask you not to actually boil any frogs. Frog legs really aren’t that good!
