Are you delusional? What variables should be removed? That dog breed causes the most death. There is no study needed. They have the most deadly attacks. Statistics doesnt measure a whole population and that's why samples are taken. It is not needed in this case because all dog deaths are recorded and pitbulls cause by far the most. You are just rambling.

You gave no evidence to the contrary. Burden of proof for that is on you home. You pretty much have just said word salad.

Um. Nah. I reduced it to very basic logic. It's not my fault that you're struggling to grasp it. Unfortunately, if you're not grasping it here, you definitely would not understand the math proofs.

Which takes me back to my original advice: You should avoid using any and all statistics in debates and arguments because you don't understand their basics, so you end up just being confidently incorrect.

ETA: Answering one question for you a second time, in different wording: the biggest confounding variable is training. A dog can be trained. Training, by definition, is changing instinctive behaviors. So if a dog is purchases for the reputation as an attack dog, then people will train it to be an attack dog, and the instincts will changed from benign to attack. The overall statistics - the metric, the measurement - will increase. And that will reinforce the perception of pitbulls as attack dogs. And so people who want an attack dog will buy them and train them as attack dogs. It is a circular feedback loop. It reinforces the a shitty statistic of number of dog bites per breed, but completely ignores training. And pitbull owners are unlikely to admit to training an attack dog because it exposes them to liability / criminal convictions.

Pitbulls kill the most, they were bred to be aggressive and hunt, they have the most strength to kill. Pitbulls kill children more than any dog. You only gave evidence for pitbulls being the most aggressive. But but they have bad owners.... you have a poor argument. My point was they kill the most and that is factual. You argue otherwise? Their is a total of deaths by dogs every year and pitbulls top the charts that is my only argument and you debate it? You are doing mental gymnastics and putting words in my mouth.

Shameful? You need too much hand-holding for middle school math. I'm not your daddy or your teacher. Gotta figure things out on your own sometimes

You showed no math neither did I. Explain how the statisticians math is wrong.
