But are you seriously telling me that you aren't more likely to be involved in a take-off/landing accident in a taildragger than a nose gear aircraft?
Yes.
But danger and risk are relative terms as well and I think if I asked an instructor: 'Which is more likely to be involved in a landing or take off accident, a nose or tailwheel aircraft?' They would say tailwheel.
If they did (which they wouldn't) they'd be wrong. I refer you again to all those broken noselegs, props, and shock-loaded engines in the AAIB reports every month.
