Statistics requires no faith.
Now maybe we can address the type of questions asked so that you can learn what constitutes a direct answer. I was responding to a comment that said I have never seen anyone trampled. Now that's not a fundamental question of statistics, but k e of absolute measurement. Do you know the difference? And to his point, he is right, I haven't seen anyone trampled. Not because people don't get trampled in these events, but rather because I don't go to them. However, I don't need to observe it first hand since there are measurements (video).
Hence to counter the claim that I myself have never witnessed it, all I have to do is point to one instance of it happening. And there are plenty of videos.
This has been your free lesson in aggregate vs. absolute. You're welcome.
I was referring to your characterization of the season as being practically barbaric (despite the relative rarity of such occurrences), because you have seen videos from the comfort of your couch.
Thanks for the lesson professor, but I hardly needed them to know you were being a blowhard. Perhaps it is indeed a "Jersey thing."
