FDA report on silicone Breast implants? What are possible errors in thier conclusion?

I want to make it clear that I trust their conclusion. However, many people still feel that the conclusion is false and that silicone breast implants are dangerous. Is there any legitimate scientific reason, that isnt some conspiracy, as to how the FDA might have come to an incorrect conclusion and if so what is it?
Answer:
All i know is that if a silicone breast implant ruptures the silicone isnt safe for your body or something like that... opposed to saline which is a fluid that is safe and flows right through your body, very harmless
I think people are just paranoid. Previously silicone breast implants were filled with a silicone fluid, but now they're composed of a silicone gel. Often plastic surgeons demonstrate with implants that have actual wedges taken out of them; they don't ooze so they won't have the same problems even if there's a rupture.Like everyone I don't always agree with what the FDA does, but they are very cautious. If it weren't for them the US would be on the long list of countries with a generation of Thalidomide babies.
The original hoopla that got the things pulled from the market was allegations of them causing connective tissue disorders. It turns out that the incidence is the same as in a comparable population without the implants. Obviously, a small difference could show up in the bust group as compared to the control group in another few zillion boobs, though the increased incidence would of necessity be quite small. My take is that the comparison will break down to a difference between the incidence of the disease and the incidence of the diagnosis, and we're talking about vain, whiny women who might get money in a legal settlement, so the safety of the things is probably even better than is apparent.
