Definitely. If it's to be taken at face value, where is one dead person? "Died from sitting." Seriously?

I haven't seen a single shred of hard evidence of these FUD claims by the standing desk "cool kids" that are telling us "you're holding it wrong" and that we should do it their way "or it will kill you." C'mon. Trendiness maximus.

People don't die from any single cigarette, either.

(Your point might be true, but your argument doesn't pass muster.)

More people die in their beds than in their chairs, so clearly lying down is more dangerous than sitting.

People don't die from a single nights sleep either but in the long run it gets them.

Yes, exactly the point I was trying to make. Reductio ad absurdum.
