I'm not sure how that's irresponsible, but in any case, my attitude is, "try to answer the question they have, but make sure that the answer is a good one — e.g., don't scaremonger, don't be pollyannaish, don't make things seem entirely black & white, give the nuance."
I'm curious what you think the "other angle" would be. The query was, "how likely was nuclear war?" The answer is, "that's hard to know, here is what people who know about this tend to believe, and here are some of the forces and policies that have an impact on that estimate."

Genuinely curious. Just wanted to make it clear what my thought process was (because the product doesn't always make that obvious).

Thanks. I do, depending on the context, try to steer into questions that I wish people were asking — e.g., whether the cost of modernization is justified, what else we could spend the money on. But it doesn't always happen and it rarely makes it into a final piece.
