Just think of the fun you can have if I am wrong...

There are many things in this world that I know to be true without having the figures to hand, and would willingly stake my life on them.

I assure you that I cannot jump as high as the worst pro basketball player, even though I have never measured my jump, nor know how high they jump.

I assure you that the average helicopter pilot spends more time in the hover than a harrier pilot, but I don't know the figures.

Do you honestly believe that it is necessary for me to prove either statement for them to be reasonable?

You should either accept that my original assurance re RAF costs due to pilot error/negligence is a reasonable statement, or zip up your man suit and take the wager............
