Lol no, some anti-science luddites repeating Exxon mobile's talking points doesn't make me wrong. I'm not oversimplifying, I'm correcting the coefficients on an equation. Fire mitigation is such a trivially small part of this, that lay people shouldn't even be thinking about it. Saying wild fires are natural is like saying lung cancer is natural when someone points out the risks of smoking. It doesn't go to zero if you don't smoke, but in general terms the key takeaway people should have is "smoking causes lung cancer" not "lung cancer is natural and will happen anyway regardless of if people smoke or not"
