It's sort of like when we want to know something, but all experiments to find out would be highly unethical. So we wait for a madman or authoritarian regime to torture someone to find out the limits of human capability. Just with the economy instead.
Basically, in 2025 we are running a simulation to find out how much stress an economy can take before it collapses, and the goal is to actually get there.
Same goes for chemical safety. How do we know what the effects of mercury, lead, ammonia or sulfur dioxide are on humans? Tragic things have happened in the past, and the survivors just documented the results.
Radiation is another great example of this
That is true. The demon core comes to mind as an extreme example. Also, Hisashi Ouchi paid a horrendous price in 1999.
