When reading statistical data you should account for a margin of error and assume that everyone else reading the data realizes that no statement is set in stone as 100% pure non-debatable information. The statistics are, however, the most accurate pieces of information used in order to research a set of reoccuring events.
The statistics were 100% accurate for what they were measuring and that is the number of registered motorcycles that have been in involved in fatal and non-fatal accidents that were officially recorded by insurance companies and or police departments. If you think that the "margin of error" (which again is the term you are looking for to explain the tendency of the statistics to not include every variable) is too much to accept the statements then fine, again I don't care.
What you are trying to say is that you don't buy the entire post. So please, say that instead of quoting the dictionary and getting so technical that you actually make this thread even more boring than it already was. Let's stop going around in circles and either accept some of the stats or don't ok?
So now you question the meaning of fallacy after I show you the definition of it? I am done because you are a bit mentally challenged.
