You changed your demand. If GM crops have less mutations than conventional crops, which are genetically modified by irradiation + selection (and have a track record of being safe), this establishes that GM crops are safe, if you accept the claim that, say, the antifreeze we already eat in fish is safe. Requiring GM crops themselves to have a track record is a bigger requirement.′
No, I’m saying we need some track record for each new crop including the GMO ones, roughly proportionate to how different they are from existing crops.

Yes, this is different from merely “showing that GMO products are safe”. Because we also have the inside view.
