Is the only allowable statement one that can be backed by quantifiable analysis?

I didn't even specify which hobby, so lets go with alpine mountaineering. Hard to be more dangerous than this. Gridiron football has some good quantification, with ways of measuring mental injuries.

sheesh.

I certainly had no intention of precluding non-quantifiable basis for the claim. I had no idea what basis you were basing your claim on. Beyond that I really couldn't begin to imagine how the attributes of the bases might be compared to one another.

In different words I asked because sports and hobbies seem like apples to the oranges of psychedelic experiences. In that context I wondered how one would build the basis for comparison, not to mention generate the confidence to make such a bold assertion about the end result.

It would probably be easier to say that the inferential distance was too high for me to follow and I was curious about how you got there.
