More to the point, saying retrospectively that you hadn't recognised  
the problem but anyway it would have been too expensive had you known  
won't (or shouldn't) wash.  If you identify the the risk, enter it  
into a risk treatment plan, evaluate the residual risk and accept it  
then that's one scenario: the discussion when it all goes horribly  
wrong would be around the reasonableness of the acceptance.  If you  
just wave your hands and do nothing it's another scenario, and one  
that should end in tears.
