I'm talking about the people in here who would like to go to Reno. I doubt that actually going to Reno makes you any better at statistical analysis (not counting this year's graduating class).

I don't care about them. I don't know any of them. If I did know one of them, I'd feel bad for his/her family. But that does not change the fact that they died doing something really stupid.

They were having a lovely day out in the sunshine watching a sport they were obviously interested in....not sitting at the computer trolling on a forum....now that 'is' stupid.

Without a clue of the danger that they were in.

well in that case say what you mean, because you said 'people who put themselves in danger at Reno' and again if you mean peple like me what have I demonstrated I don't understand and how?

Because you say stupid things like "multiplying numbers doesn't mean anything".

question was 'what' not 'why' but then you have been evading the majority of my questions.

You have demonstrated that you don't know how dangerous air racing is. You say you understand, but when I put the Reno numbers in context you make it clear that you really don't understand.

And when I put them in context you deny my interpretation although by taking more data into account it is more precise than yours... and you say you are a statistician?

I understand that if I go to an air racing (substitute any extreme sport here) event I may be injured or killed, people near me may be injured or killed. If I decide to accept the risks, which are slight, this does not mean I do not understand them.

You continue to insult everyone involved with the Reno races and people like me who would not mind going once to see it, pilots, crews, and spectators and victims alike. What did any of these people do to make you want to deny them their passion? Thankfully no one gave you the power.

I will stop feeding the troll now.
