...Except that graph only shows the gradient for military aircraft from 1946 and we are generally talking about from the 1990s to present - quite a lot of difference.

You may need to know some international aviation design and management history to decode the changes shown in that graph - especially what happened in 1947, 1970 and again in 2003 - but you're too intelligent to want to know - aren't you?

And the percentages of total aircraft to incidents/accidents is quite hugely different now too. Perhaps you could stumble on one that shows how wild your theories are?

While your digging - try "researching" how safe aircraft are today - and then try to find why?

Finally, I'd like to see your equation/definition about the risks in flying what you think is an unsafe aircraft (try to include probability and severity) and its relationship to impaired judgement.
