alright, to the response, how about "I think we should also cut the ridiculous budget enjoyed by NTSB, because 0.01% of all airplanes currently in service have crashed"? I'd actually argue that aircraft that have crashed are no longer in service and flights that were successful or grounded vs flights involving mechanical failure leading to crashes is probably at a safer percentage than 0.01% (though not certain of said percentage), but I think the general point stands.
