  > If you are spear fishing in shark filled waters Like I said in my other comment, it's not about finding one specific guy. Picking a place where people live is a reasonable starting point for making a rebuttal to a general statement like that. I don't think pointing at Fisherman Sam is. > And if I live in a place where there is very rarely lightning, that chance gets really low as well. How low can that number go? The numbers I picked made consideration for some amount of variation in lightning. Does lightning have a huge variance? It's important to have real numbers when you're making the claim that there are places where the lightning:shark ratio is multiple orders of magnitude lower than the average. That's not a claim you can justify by merely pointing out that the risks will vary by location.
