I realized as I was writing this that the overshoot is kind of like AIDS or aging-- it doesn't kill you directly, just predisposes you toward things that will.
I'll edit it so the union of the whole set of conditional-on-overshoot disasters plus "other" is the likelihood of overshoot itself.
OK then, you put forward an estimate: an overshoot is very likely. Now what makes you think so?
