I don’t care about accident rates in aviation generally. I care about my personal accident rate. I can control my personal culture, and certain parts of my environment. I can influence, but not control, the culture of those around me. I’ll go through my life trying to be the centre of a little bubble of accident-free aviation, immersed in the frothy statistical noise of whatever Teal and Michael are discussing. When evaluating any question with statistics, one of the first questions to ask is whether your sample is reflective of your population. I’m a sample size of 1 in a population of 1. Everything outside that is pretty uninteresting to me. - mark _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.base64.com.au http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring
