In my opinion that is a silly reason to remove a safety step. My point is this you could inject yourself 100,000 times without a problem and on the 100,001st time accidently inject directly into the vein. why take a risk for such a small step? Aspirating takes a second tops, and doesn't hurt so why not do it even in the delt? Not try to be a dick here but I can't seem to find an argument against aspiration that makes sense.
