Agreed. Get one of those statsticians to really get the proper variates and pull a good standard deviation to see what conclusions we can really draw.

My (developed) instinct is to always questions statistics. Most stats and science is incorrect. In other words, given more time and new information, the original conclusions of the observed data will be proved false.

Those who buy safety oriented stuff tend to be...uh...safer. So, attribution gets very tricky...
