How to be a journalist....
1. See new thing.
2. Ring up expert and ask if new thing could be dangerous.
3. Listen to expert talk for 5 minutes about facts and things.
4. Say "So it COULD be dangerous?"
5. Hear expert say "It most likely won't be dangerous."
6. Say "Ah, but it COULD be dangerous!"
7. Hear expert say "There's always a tiny chance that that could be the case, but there's no evidence that...."
8. Hang up phone, write story saying "NEW THING COULD BE DANGEROUS!"
9. Profit!
