If a dust speck in the eye is worse than nothing, and being tortured for 50 years is worse than a dust speck, there must be some probability of being tortured for 50 years which is so small that you are indifferent between that and a certainty of getting a dust speck in the eye? I quite agree!

The actual effort it requires to consider which option to take is itself probably less pleasant than just taking the dust speck. Of course, this decision cost doesn't apply to models, but it's worth considering if you're thinking of actually being faced with the decision yourself.
