One example for all the proof purists would be this: that, due to lack of sufficient randomized clinical trials, we (based on EBM) cannot prove that jumping out of a plane without a parachute is adverse to one's health. If we're going to apply the same hard-line to this example that several on this board have been applying to decon, then none of us are positioned to advise against unprotected plane jumps.
But hey, that's not going to stop anybody on Cavechat from doing it, or from bashing the people who do!
