Now come on you are just kidding? You usually make more sense than that.

I probably would not use a Chipmunk either because there are so many less valuable tailwheel airplanes you can use. Like the J3 Cub, Aeronca Champ, Cessna 140, Cessna 170.

I can see no reason to have any more accidents with a tailwheel trainer than with a nose wheel trainer.... as long as the students are taught properly.

Then again that is only my thoughts, based on having taught legions of students in tailwheel airplanes and having " never" had a student lose control of one.
