I don't know about that one way or the other, because I pay little attention to the figures. This is far from ideal but I so distrust the statistics (wherever they come from) that I merely base my opinions on my own observations of how things seem to be working and my own instincts for what is right. That's not very scientific, but it's all I can offer. *not at all scientific*, and probably the worst possible way of learning about the world, especially things and events that are rare. If they don't happen to you, you'll decide they never happen. If they do, you'll think they happen more than they do. One of the main benefits of civilization is that people can learn from others' mistakes, and not just their own. The main benefit of statistics is that they can be used to spot the difference between one in a million and one in a thousand.
