They just told him to tell people it should not be news people job they need press conference. Tell those the dangers of storing fuel, dangers of despensing.
To assume all will be inteligent is naive sadly people have to be spoon fed dangers.

There is a huge difference between "assume all is (sic) intelligent" and "understanding that pouring petrol into a glass jug in a kitchen whilst cooking is bad" - if people have so little common sense, nothing anyone will say is likely to make any difference.
Should the government also issue warnings that people shouldn't iron their clothes whilst taking a shower, or that jumping out an open window on the fifth floor of a building may have a sub-optimal outcome?
We are not all morons, and to treat people as such is demeaning.
