I take a shower most days with the full knowledge that people slip in tubs
every day, some resulting in very serious injuries. I go swimming in the
summer with the full knowledge that there is a very small risk of having a
seizure and drowning. And I go in the car every day with the full knowledge
that there will be around 115 people dying in car crashes on a given day.

Risk is a part of life. And getting burned by coffee is a risk of drinking
coffee.
