PermalinkIf you call "risk" "excitement" then people won't know what it is. With risk there's that element of danger and a lot of people might not find danger exciting at all. They might find theater exciting and there certainly isn't anything dangerous about that. Why not just call "risk management" "danger management?" That would certainly be more appropriate than using "excitement" to mean "risk."
