43" if you are going to present statistics you need to cite your source and please provide a link.

Anyone can say "Statistics show dot dot dot", the media do it all the time, but to analyse statistics correctly and have a sensible debate you need to know more, a lot more.
For a start the sample sizes of the USA and Aus would be very different, have your figures been adjusted for that? Are we talking about null hypothesis testing or just trying to ram a point home by belittling people who don't accept it at face value? Or something in between such as presenting data in a graphical form with a written explanation like this? Aviation Occurrence Statistics 2010 to 2019 (atsb.gov.au)

If you don't cite your source then your argument has little merit. If you just try to shout down others then it has no merit at all.
