Using that kind of "logic," we should also shrink from commenting on a parent who tells his kid to shoot an arrow straight up in the air. If nothing bad happens on videotape of this experiment, it would be OUTRAGEOUS for anyone to say "Hey, that's irresponsible ...."
After all, the outcome is known. The child wasn't injured on tape. The arrow came down next to him instead of into his skull.
That kind of "logic" and a bit of video editing could be used to prove that Russian roulette is a safe thing to do with a revolver, and only a busybody control freak would say "Hey ...."
What could possibly go wrong, eh?
Executive summary: Sheesh!
