I don't know what kind of logical fallacy it is in us humans, but we really think in the present that we live in a time where we're above nature like that, as if there's a solution to everything. And not to talk ill of you your wife, but I wouldn't be surprised if she thought: "oh well, I'm sure we'll figure something out before anything bad happens" once you told her. And maybe she just trusted that her father knew better, that's also not out of the question.

One thing has always been true though: Don't fuck with water. Just look at the Grand Canyon after all.
