ORIGINAL: DomKen Can't do math I see. Did you examine the rounding? I guess not. The actual rate is as high as 1.2 per million and the average for the period covered by the report is 1.15 per million. Do those look like 1 in a million odds to you? Well actually, if you want to run the calculation out to two decimal places, the rate would be 1.08 per million for the 2010 number I cited. And yeah, that looks close enough to me to be broadly characterized as one in a million. But I didn't use that phrase. I posted the actual data instead. Also, I never said anything about the average for the entire period because the overall trend has been downward, so that would be deceptive. You know, like you. K.
