" Today people have pure unquestioned faith in both"

Not true at all. We accept the risks to obtain benefits but we also know having an accident in the air or in elevators is highly unlikely given what we know; so therefore its perfectly rational behaviour.

Nonsense

that would assume that your average person has any concept of the relative statistics and has a sense of making decisions based on statistics

People make decisions based on what other people around them are doing

this is well known in safety engineering in architecture and civil engineering which is why you have standards for egress doors because left of their own devices humans will follow crowds to their own death

One does not need to know of relative statistics to know that a) you dont see planes randomly dropping out of the sky on a regular basis b) people enjoy flying to hot destinations and are willing to accept the small chance the flight may not be risk-free - people are aware of this when they experience some level of turbulence when flying.

Finally, Ive seen plenty of your posts on here. You write with a particular tone. Who are you? A nobody who's spent a lot of time posting crap on here.

Attacking the person rather than their argument only serves to make your argument look weaker.

I agree. This looks rather childish.

I’m curious if you can actually describe the tone
