"allows you to be more of an idiot."
"someone becomes more of an idiot"
Last time I looked "allows" and "becomes" were not synonyms.
And if you don't think that a belief that an activity cannot hurt one allows one to become more careless, I suggest you ask any psychologist.
Yes, the Sawstop is a good saw. Yes, it is the safest saw on the market. No, it is not a revealed truth from Heaven :-).
You call the OP an idiot. Woodchucker calls him a troll. Seems a bit harsh for what to me is a defensible point of view.
That psychologist can also acquaint you with the proclivity of someone who owns a product to get defensive when the product is criticized. The more expensive the product, the more defensive :-).
