everybody parrots this old wifes tale "yes but even one bla bla bla" like it's true. a fizzle would just give you yet another superfund site... there's a bunch of those out there, some maybe near you...
It's not any real amount of damage. You are wincing at a fight cos somebody might get your shoe a bit dirty. Then you wonder why russia and china salami slice you. It's because you are a wimp. This panicky attitude hidden behind a veneer of "being reasonable" is fear that you do not need to live your life with.
