WP (https://archive.is/g2eMe) -- The autism epidemic is a myth. Most new cases reflect mild or no significant impairment. Moderate and severe cases have declined.
Это называется аутизмоскептицизм. Аналогичный случай произошел с ковидом.

-- We can speak about the risk of taking to the freeway every day, using probabilities that might say something like “one has a 0.5 percent chance of dying on I-40 in Knoxville during rush hour traffic” or something like that.
Likewise, when nine people met their deaths near Perry Peak on February 17, the snow that broke away from the steep mountain slope was not governed by probabilities, nor can we say it was a random event.
One cannot use probabilities here. Either an avalanche occurred, or it didn’t. We cannot know if someone in the group triggered it, or if the snowpack simply moved when it became too heavy. All we can know is that it happened.

Это всё из-за преподавания математики.

Vishal R. Patel, Christopher M. Worsham, Michael Liu & Anupam B. Jena@nber.org -- Smartphones, Online Music Streaming, and Traffic Fatalities. Using event study analysis, we show that music streaming – an indicator for smartphone use, where streaming most often occurs – sharply increases, by nearly 40%, on dates of major music album releases, while U.S. traffic fatalities increase by nearly 15% on those same days.
