      True. I’m not sure if any category is really especially useful as a statistic. Am I more likely to die slipping in the bathtub than I am of eye cancer? That’s quite likely even if neither kill me because I’m guessing a lot more people die slipping in the bathtub than of a rare form of cancer.
