If you showed a picture of a standard tower crane to someone with a decent understanding of physics but had never seen one before, they would similarly recoil and go "WTF why are you suspending a bunch of concrete blocks high in the sky on what looks like a pencil thin beam!" and it would take some explaining, OR it would take seeing it regularly for that person to become okay with it.

People don't see this every day, so they don't take it for granted, and therefore it looks insane. Just like tower cranes look insane.

Looks like it's going to pick up Seattle's Space Needle. Quite insane. /c/confusingperspective

This sketchy looking thing is safe, therefore all sketchy looking things are safe.

This sketchy looking thing is safe, therefore some sketchy looking things are safe, therefore I'll need to assess the specific risks of all things whether or not they look sketchy.
