No, but statistics might help some people understand why they shouldn't give in to fear when it comes to terror attacks since there are many, many more likely ways for them to die. This is pretty important since that fear is the whole goal of these attacks, and it also provides a way for non-terrorists to manipulate people for their own ends. Although I admit this particular method of alleviating fear might only work on people on HN.
