So someone that didn't study science or engineering in university, as an example.
More likely to die crossing the road. Something everyone does twenty times a day versus something many people wont do twenty times in their lifetime. This is without factoring in that one is completely within your control and abilities and the other completely without.

Classic flawed statistic. It means precisely nothing. You are more likely to tread in dog **** than unicorn ****. You are more likely to get killed reading AWIMB than dangling over the edge of the grand canyon singing Reel Around the Fountain.

And if I am more scared of crossing the road than flying does this make both logical?
