The number of occurrences is not important unless paired with total opportunity for occurrences.
Ten out of a hundred is pretty damn bad, but ten out of a billion is a statistical rounding error.
It's up to you to decide whether you want to make arguments to sway people by emotion and based on popular opinion or based on facts. To be clear, you may be completely right in this case (I don't know the statistics), but it's up to you to decide whether you're happier winning an argument or being right, because how you argue the point will often tend to put you in one of those categories from the beginning.
