retirement homes are dangerous places, just that the statistics are
meaningless. In the case you put forward the sample is far too small to
draw a meaningful conclusion. There could be other factors at work, like
less flying taking place, more conspicuous markings, better understanding
by pilots of the problem ad nausea.
Better lookout and situational awareness is they key, anyone who thinks
otherwise should stay at home in a locked room, they are far too dangerous
to be allowed out.

Ad nauseam is the right characterization - this comes across as continual nit-picking and nay-saying in denial of available facts and logic - and in contradiction of some of your own prior statements regarding admitted effectiveness of Flarm as an aid to situational awareness specific to traffic conflicts.

I've flown with it, I know it works - in my retirement home people live longer than in Don's so I'm moving there.
