DeviouslyCursed:  Ah, the old "if you're not 100% certain, you can't know anything" fallacy. Most things in life are never 100% certainties. You could close your eyes and run across a busy street. What? Because some people make it you are going to conclude that closing your eyes and running across a busy street doesn't result in being injured or killed by vehicles? You're going to conclude that it's a safe activity because maybe the people who got hit were predisposed to getting hit by vehicles anyway?
