I just hate when people say something's rare when it happens a lot more, like "it'll never happen" when it does 10% of the time.
Calling one in ten "seldom happens" or asking someone to "not worry about it" is no better than being a robber. Same with majority/most/almost all. If first base is thrown out the "almost all" of the time, please don't call "safe" one time in five. If it's "extremely rare," then have it done to yourself first. "Virtually impossibles" that are ninety-something percent are annoying too and just lies. All your computers died because you called one in a few "low chance."
Please, PLEASE use the right estimator. Don't cause another mortgage crash by saying 5% is "rare." If it's something serious, a few-percent failure isn't "you have nothing to worry about." Enough of the charlatanism and hawking. And it's not just US problem (the place where a lot of this stuff started), which is embarrassing.
