Yes, I've read about that perspective. And then, later, when the vanilla folk said... "But how could it be safe to do xyz" RACK was "invented" and later when vanilla folk argued that being aware of the risk doesn't absolve the participants from needing protection from themselves... some began to use WISWD (what it is we do) and to hell with trying to justify ourselves.
