How did nitrous get such a bad rep...?

Why would anyone need all those items?
I foot brake my turd...
Again, not bashing anyone. Just pointing out that most of the items everyone keeps mentioning are not NEEDED, they are wanted. My setup is not recommended. It's an example of how half-assed you can run nitrous and still never damage a part because of nitrous. Never even nipped a spark plug because I stayed with the really safe recommended jetting.
I'm trying to blast on anybodys stuff either.. instead of counting how many times you said "if" or "needed" and totally for discussion... I think it would be agreed that if you have more to lose and your conscious of it that you would take more precautions.. also if you had an unrealistic view of your self-control (which I don't) it would be easy to take less precautions... I could see one of these basic kits and a low budget or junkyard motor and going for it being a suitable match.. on the other hand someone with a little bit of coin into their engine might consider a few extra precautions?...
