"No you were guilty of misunderstanding the nature of a Risk Assessment."

Not so.
The Risk Assessment provided two estimates of natural damage progression. One best, one worst. it was therefore not an expression of a worst case scenario. It ewas an assessment of the risk and cannot be explained away otherwise.

We deliberately chose the worst, not the best to arrive at our inference that it would take 107 years before the equivalent of the tunnelling damage happened naturally. Had we chosen the best, i.e. slowest, rate of void migration it would mean it would take a great deal longer than 107 years for the equivalent of the tunnelling damage to occur.

But it matters little. All of the figures have now been disclaimed.
