Using that logic, since everybody here is so intent on focusing on the odds of dying in air travel versus car travel, in a given trip from point a to point b there are only two outcomes, I am alive or I am dead. So then the odds of me dying during that particular trip is the same for a car and plane trip, and it's 50/50? And that half of the people on every plant, train, and automobile dies during the journey?

For that matter, since there are only two states, alive and dead, then everybody I see around me now only has a 50% chance of being alive in the morning. It's going to be hell over the holidays.

I either get a tax audit or I don't, I must be lucky, because the odds were 50/50 and I've been filing for 26 years, I have missed 13 of them. Either my house will have burned down or it hasn't today.

Either this logic makes any sense or it doesn't.
