Point taken, but surely there is knowledge to be gained by subtracting
the "stupid pilot tricks" from the total number of fatal accidents?

There is knowledge, agreed. I just don't think you can use that knowledge
to change in any meaningful way a rational calculation of your own exposure
to the risks.

You can do lots of other useful things with the knowledge. Just not that.
