I am just amazed at how hard you are trying to minimalize or dismiss the information.

Well, then you have one on me because I'm not at all amazed at how hard you are trying to maximize and make salient the data. It's extremely common for people to "misread" statistics. And it's also common for people to reach for straws to try to prove their points. So I'm not a bid surprised. Nor am I surprised that you persist and go into defensive posture when I point this out to you.

I'm not minimalizing or diminishing anything. At least I'm not trying to. All I'm doing is pointing out that your data don't support what you think they support. I don't know that there are few incidents any more than you know there are many. Because they don't tell us anything about frequency of incidents. I never denied that some incidents occur. All that is at issue is likelihood and your data don't inform us on the subject as you'd like them to do.
