Seems like the judgement safest for children is a more conservative approach when the possibility of harm exists. Its a bit comparable to wearing a helmet or a seat belt. The methods to protect children do not need to be a restriction for adults.

A voice of reason. Parents have a great deal of responsibility for what their children read, and watch on TV and in movie theatres. But others also have a responsibility, as Bernie pointed out. That is why some movies are designated as not suitable for children.
