I don't think there's such a thing as "unprovoked shark attacks". First, it's called an encounter now, not an attack, and that change is relevant to the question at hand. When sharks hurt people, I think it is typically the people that have invaded the home of the shark (and thus provoked it) and not the other way around (and thus unprovoked). There are no shark attacks when humans are minding their own business on land.

That's the same as saying a shark will attack, any place it can get to you at!

Next you'll be saying all bear attacks are due to me not standing in the ocean.

You know, animals have personalities too. Some are just asshats. I knew a dog that was an asshat. Smug bastard. Could see it in his eyes. Doesn't mean all dogs are!
