> We have numbers, but every time people tend to ignore them or say we should not trust the numbers, take them with a grain of salt

Well, the numbers are very wrong. That's known. There are plenty of large factors with unknown impacts pushing the numbers both ways.

But there are about as many people saying "it's not that large a problem" as there are saying "this is way worse"... What is just natural when we don't have reliable numbers.
