That may be what the original commenter was going for, but it only works if one ignores all other externalities. Their reasoning is just too reductive. They make the mistake of thinking that “dead is dead” means lethality is not factor. What’s the difference between a bootleg firecracker and a Russian ICBM? Nothing, both can kill you so it makes no difference to treat one exploding as any more significant than the other. They take a similar mindset of “intelligence is intelligence” and I find flaws with that as well.
