How does one go about assessing the risk?

FMEA is the best way. You can read about the method on my web

page. Hope

I'm not being unfair, but I get the impression that you are

heavily

influenced by your emotions. You might have a difficult time

seeing any

merit to the process.

If you won't debate the issues attack your opponent :)

FMEA- Failure Mode Effects Analysis.

Risk is assessed based on the failure mode of each part and the probability
of it happening. Determining the probability of failure is where this always
gets subjective. In reality there is no way to do this without hard test
data. Tracy, Ed and others are producing this test data for all of us.

People in glass houses should not throw stones, no matter how much said
stones are sugar coated or wrapped in jargon.
