- Nomentatus 10y agoIf the public truly didn't care about statistics - even those they themselves observed - or their own convenience, then we'd still have flagpersons on foot preceding all automobiles. The history of the modern elevator is also very instructive in this regard: that device seemed infinitely dangerous to the public initially, but the statistics - almost no injuries - did decide the case in favor of elevators and their safety-springs rather quickly.
