What catastrophically bad outcome? What's worse than lawsuits, being accosted in public, death threats and swatting, outcomes we've all been at risk of (and experienced) long before this legislation was but a glint in the eye of an eager junior lawmaker? The limited liability afforded to me by law means legal action, whether private or government, is the least worrisome outcome when someone has a grudge against me or my websites. I am far more worried about a nerd with a grudge and my address than I am the government.

I don't think anyone's disputing any of your points, least of all @Velocio
They're saying there's an extremely small chance of a catastrophically bad outcome with the regulations in their current form.
And that risk*result isn't something they're willing to entertain
