There you go again, restating what I said in order to disagree and prove some erroneous point. I NEVER STATED THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING ACROSS THE US THAN ARE KILLEC CRISSING THE STREET.That is what YOU STATED and you would be correct. WHAT I STATED WAS THE FOLLOWING: I said that the dangers of getting killed or injured crossing the street are GREATLY EXAGGERATED. To prove that point I compared YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING KILLED CROSSING THE STREET with your chances of GETTING ACROSS SAFELY in a one year period IN NEW YORK CITY. Then I took that number and compared it with your chance of getting struck by lightning in the US within a one year period. The assumption I was making which may or may not be correct is that your chance of getting struck by lightning within NYC is no greater or less than it is anywhere else in the US. Comparing those two numbers I concluded that you were eight times more likely to get hit by lightning (assuming you were in a thunderstorm) than you were getting killed crossing the street. You conveniently omitted crossing the street safely and just did a comparison between lightning deaths and pedestrian injuries. THAT WAS NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING AT ALL. You can only win a discussion by changing what I stated. |
