That's kinda like saying we can release the tiger from the cage because it hasn't killed anyone while it was in the cage.

No? It's like saying that its safe to have more zoos with tigers because tigers pretty much never get out of their cages and get a to kill people unless there is some massive fuckup (i.e. you let soviet engineers supervise your tiger)
