Judging by the preponderance of fuel starvation problems in
experimentals in the NTSB database that sounds absolutely right.

It seems like fuel delivery problems account for half of all
experimental accidents and off airport landings.

The other half seems like pilot error in one form or another (which is
par for the flying course).

In the designs I've looked at, not a single structural failure occured
that wasn't pilot caused, and there was only one of those and the
pilot was high on mary jane.
