This is a super faulty argument as _a lot_ of death related to driving accidents are caused by other people.
If I look just in my environment all care related death have been caused by "other" people which some times but not always also died.
- Chris2048 5y agoIs it faulty because of the qualifier "much"? It has to be taken with further context, this was just an illustrative example. I'm sure if, for example, you ride motorbikes a vast number of deaths are the fault of the driver. > all care related death have been caused by "other" people this doesn't follow from the example I gave. The point is you can't use statistical averages for a decision that likely will have far more context to it. In this case the discrepancy between sex-offenders in the entire population vs all candidates for a carer position, the least of which is most abuse happening in-family, excluding all those example from the case of a carer that is not family.
