These arguments appeal to phenomenal stakes implying that, using expected value reasoning, even a very small probability of the bad thing happening means we should try to reduce the risk, provided there is some degree of tractability in doing so.
To be clear, the argument in my post is that we only need the argument to work for very small=1% or 0.1%, not eg 10^-10. I am much more skeptical about arguments involving 10^-10 like probabilities
