That's the problem though: these rules and lines aren't just there for you. And while I won't say you're the exception that proves the rule, I am going to say that I don't think you're thinking big picture for everyone on board about this.
If you personally don't want to cause harm, if making sure that you can experiment without hurting anyone is your priority, isn't that a better thing to learn? Ways to safeguard things or contain them while you're working? Whether it's new methods or a partner you can have a buddy check system with, making sure your own backyard is clean and in order definitely won't hurt. Especially since it might be applicable if you end up spending time in another world or something.
