According to this book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reckoning-Risk-Learning-Live-Uncertainty/dp/0140297863
probabilities are best communicated using numbers (e.g. 15 out of 100 people in this situation will find …) because this avoid confusion over what the probability applies to.
It seems to me the problem at the start of the podcast is as much about communicating risk assessment as forming it in the first place.

His whitepaper “An Introduction to Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR)” is standard reading on my team…great to see him speak, thanks for the post!

Adam,
Thanks for the kind post. Jack and I have -no- issues calling ourselves “New School” :)
We’ll probably be among your most vocal advocates.
