alt Hacker NewsThis is like buying something from the grocery store and then waiting a week to eat it in case the FDA put out a warning about it.

More akin to letting astronauts stay in quarantine for a day in case they caught space bugs.
If every other week I would notice the FDA recalls a popular brand that would have taken over my brain and transmit my bank password and SSN to a stranger, I might prefer drinking week old milk.
Edit: not dismissing your analogy, it’s pretty much it.

No it's not. That's a terrible analogy.
If there was a good reason to believe the pop tarts you buy might unexpectedly be contaminated with dioxins, waiting a week would be prudent.
