It's fully within my understanding, GU.
-- You consider the risk of terrorism in Egypt to be "very predictable", but when pressed for your prediction on the specific number of tourists that will be killed by terrorists in Egypt in the coming 12 months, your most specific response is "Less than 16,503". You could say "zero", "50" or "250", but you wisely steer clear of this unpredictable figure.
-- When asked the simple question of which country, Israel or Egypt, has had more Western tourists killed by terrorists since 1993, you dodge that by quibbling over the impact of duel citizens on the definition of tourists.
Like I said earlier, I largely agree with your view of the big picture here. I just think you're taking a dubious route to the same point.
