I still have to wonder, though, if this would still be the case if you

down into stupid and non-stupid.

Neither do the people that track auto accidents. You can't eliminate the auto
accidents caused by people doing something stupid, so don't omit the stupid
aviation accidents either.


OK, I concede the point. Flying is more dangerous than driving. :-(
