Time for a more studied response eludes me. But I should first like to say a few things.
Firstly, though I am not an author of that statistical study, I have seen nothing to contradict those numbers. The proportion could be as high as one in three. It has effected my friends and family.
Secondly, I agree that fearmongering is a questionable tactic. However, as. Seterent for crimes, it can be effective.
Third, I am not Mod Flanders. I am a physicist. I rely on quantitative analysis and triage.
Finally, I did not stumble into anything. My words are deliberate. Fears are powerful, pervasive, human, and in this case, can be a force for good.
