I like how Steve tends to word recommended PC point levels for an adventure in terms of a party that "might" be able to survive. To me this seems very appropriate to not set expectations that you will survive, as bad use of those points, bad tactics, bad situations, and/or bad die rolls can (thankfully) lead to death and destruction.
