1 percent, 99 percent, 35 percent...beware of statistics and "logical lubrication" on all sides in the arguments you hear these days. Statistics are easy to play with if you bend logic to draw conclusions: less than 1 percent of people die from great white shark attacks in this world...100 percent of people who drink water die...therefore a bottle of Evian is statistically connected to more deaths than great white sharks, and arguably more dangerous?!
