Your point regarding 'Accidents of Omission' is interesting.
If your local drug company marketed an antibiotic that then proceeded to kill 23 patients, I'm not sure whether the subsequent litigants would be much impressed by the uncertain number of lives saved. Yes we need spin training, and preferably on an annual basis so we don’t forget what to do if, what we spent the previous year avoiding, accidentally happens. Surely the point at issue is whether the Puch is a safe vehicle for these manoeuvres. And if it isn't, then should it be airborne at all. Certainly the number of accidents involving the Puch as against the number produced does seem to indicate that something is amiss. Is there a statistician out there who could look at the numbers and make a scientific pronouncement on this? I seem to remember in my school days, (when Queen Victoria ruled), there was something called the Chi-squared test which allowed one to state whether two separate groups of occurrence were significantly different. Could we compare, for example, the number of K-13's et al spun in relation to the numbers built, as against the Puch in the same manner and pronounce with a specified degree of confidence whether the accident rate, (spin in's), was significantly different? |
