So .... let's all abstain from driving any automobiles completely as they are health hazard.
Let's quit traveling the route from St. Louis to Memphis as it apparently is a death route.
Let's get rid of all our batteries as they can all fail, spark and cause electrical fires.
Let's remove all petroleum products from our automobiles, homes, RV, lawn mowers, construction machinery, and anything else that runs on it, as they are fire hazards.


It's almost as stupid, isn't it?

I admit to being stupid but your analogy perhaps falls into the same range.
