Reasonable intervention is always warranted. Unreasonable intervention, that which will not affect things in a statistically significant way, may or may not be useful. IOW if you can spend $1000.00 to reduce a risk by 99.9% but would have to spend $1,000,000.00 to reduce it by the further .1 %, arguably it may not be worth it to spend the extra million. It may or may not have anything to do with getting to work on time.

Your argument is like saying it is justified to spend a billion dollars if one person will be saved from an MI by widening every street to put in a dedicated ambulance lane.

(BTW these studies were found on Jason's advice, not mine)
