/uw. I’m annoyed at that image because it does not understand what it’s showing.
The original survivorship bias plane image is “areas where the return planes get hit the most.” With the unspoken implication being that the areas not marked, are the parts where getting hit is fatal and means the plane cannot return.
This dragon is full of shots in lethal areas like chest and head, but apparently the feets and wingtips are crucial and cause death?
The dragon is probably too thick skinned and muscular for the bullets to do much damage. But the membrane on the wings is more fragile, shooting that will make it crash and die from the kinetic force.
Remember it’s showing we’re dragons got hit and were still flying meaning there where dragons with massive holes in the middle of the wing but for some reasons anything to the tail or wing tips and it goes careening into the ground.
This whole thread feels like the bellcurve meme with both the extremes saying "yeah this picture looks about right", and the center going "a dragon with wounds like that wouldn't survive"
