Mixing up your taser with your handgun

RE: Mixing up your taser with your handgun
Quote:Two can play at that game.
Not really 


Quote:The occurrences of known intention misuse had been 0.  
Known yes before fail-safes could lower the likelihood of unintentional occurrence.


Quote:  The occurrences of known unintentional misuse had been 15. 
Prior to fail-safes as a means of lower the likelihood of unintentional occurrence.


Quote:   Fail safe can work or not.  
Yup but the mere presence of a failsafe lowers the likelihood of it being unintentional 


Quote:If it works, it lowers the odds implied by 15. 
Not really as I said as far as I know when the other ones happened no fail-safes existed yet. This would be the only one we could apply fail-safes in as a factor.



Quote: If it does not, the odds implied by the 15 stays

Yes, it does by the mere fact it exists in this instance and none of the others. Note that we no evidence that it failed.



Quote:    So no fail safe can make it less likely for the next mistaken discharge be to be unintentional than intentional.

You just repeated the same point again and the answer remains the same.

Your turn.
I think we have hit an impasse so I'm going to bow out. This was a very interesting conversation though despite the issues.

 Thank you Great
