My reference to risking lives was allegorical.

Batty's post has been viewed as an attack. Batty is saying she has the moral high-ground and we have all been found wanting unless we believe as she does. Therefore, Batty has laid the groundwork that her moral argument is superior just by her stating it. If this is true, it's the height of arrogance. I assume of course, that that is not what she meant. I'll leave it to her to clear the air.
