We all know (hopefully simply because we heard about it and did not decide to test it for ourselves) that a frog placed in a pot of cool water will eventually boil to death if the heat on the pot is turned up slowly.  In other words, the fact that the pot is heating up sneaks up on the frog and it essentially fails to sense that something is wrong.  Kind of like how risk sometimes sneaks up on us as well, isn’t it?
