It's 1 compared to 86, 86 is the baseline.

But you need to control for lines of code at the very least — otherwise you're comparing apples to oranges

I'm perfectly happy to say that it's not a very good way to make a comparison.

Then it would not be unscientific.

Yeah I mean I could also say "there are no CVEs written in PERL in the kernel ergo PERL is safer to write than Rust". Given there's close to zero .pl files in the kernel, I think we can all agree my assertion holds

[jason_oster]

That claim relies on an absurd "in the kernel" qualifier, making it difficult to agree with. Furthermore, your hypothesis is that "we all" agree with claims that rely on absurd conditions as a matter of course.

[f1shy]

That is no base line. That is a comparison with no statistical value.

Tbh I thought that was clear when I used the phrase "unscientific".
