Yes, Boundaries & Scales, but also Impact Tolerance
Standards.

Ecologists cannot make a mathematically valid
case that using a coffe cup size amount of DDT on the 
inside surfaces of homes in malaria prone countries 
every 6-12 months could ever have more than a negligible 
adverse impact on the health of the humans and wildlife 
living outside of the homes. 

But by advocating a zero adverse impact standard, some
affluent ecologists and eco-activists from malaria free
countries can justify genocidal policies against poorer 
countries (deny them access to life saving DDT).
