Since 1 in 47 is the example we have seen, that's the example we're going to use. Trying to pretend it wasn't 1 in 47 is deflecting (and moronic).

It could be 1 in 1 billion, but it wasn't. It was 1 in 47. We can only go by the stats available, not by the ones you pull out of your butt.

No, but we can make sure there are enough life boats for everyone on board. If that isn't possible, then we find a different way to do things.

I didn't say anything about 51s falling out of the sky every 47th flight. I have no idea where you got that.

The assumption is based on what has been posted in here by pro-Reno people. I'm very confident that it is accurate.
