Even if abiogenesis is common, the transition from simple to complex cells is incredibly uncommon. As far as we can tell it only happened on earth once in 4 billion years.

f_l may be 0.1 but f_i is almost certainly multiple orders of magnitude smaller.

I like how all it takes to get some cool art is to impose an arbitrary constraint on technically skilled people.

A paradox of a safer society is that tragic acts like child abductions make more news than they would if they were more commonplace, inflating the perception of the threat.
