SHmuel,
This is a BRILLIANT observation! It should definitely be used in our study. Really, when you think about it, what a wonderful comparison tool.
What kind of study could be done about that?????

STATISTICS:
Statistics is one of my main fields of expertise but applied to exact sciences.
I postulated during my tenure as Member of the Israeli Society for Quality, (I was invited several times to present Papers to the ISQ International Conventions), that using those tools on eminently variable, highly mobile, intelligent beings? behavior is at least, risky in the extreme. One could tentatively concede that the exact point and time of data gathering is where the statistical info stands on its own, if one can prorate false information fed by the citizens polled. Forecasts made on those basis are folly. Regression analysis is an exercise on stupidity if based on those tests. Consequently with all due respect, I doubt that anyone, (other than THE ONE), can predict a thing with relation to populations numbers in the future.
Attempts to the contrary look to me like a GREAT CARSONNI stunt in the Johnny Carson's show.
The same applies to "accidents"... leminehem... we are addressing.
Rather than population wide statistics one may attempt to do some comparative analysis between lets say the "accident" rate amongst the "300" families and "accident" rates amongst settlers or prominence families.
As a standard observer I have NOT recorded any "accidents" taking out almost all members of unJewish families under similar circumstances to those that affected settlers families.
