Fire in Brijest - a predictable result of recycling stupidity?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Takeaways from this post: ‘assume’; ‘probably’; ‘imagine’; ‘might’. Your use of hard facts is underwhelming.

Oddly enough, the mentor for my Bachelor thesis told me almost the same thing. I think that there are very few things that aren't opinions, but that there is a huge difference between an educated opinion and uneducated opinion. And I think the academia is trying to create the illusion of objectivity by using a sciency style.

And, not for nothing, your comment about North Korea could be used in a logic class, in the unit ‘How To Avoid False Equivalence’.

I think the burden of proof here is on you. You are claiming that plastics recycling plants catching fire is rare. I point you to anecdotal evidence suggesting it is not rare (the fact that Drava International in Brijest caught fire three times in the last 10 years: in 2015, in 2016 and now). You dismiss that with no evidence at all. Sorry, you are not being scienctific here. Anecdotal evidence has more weight than a claim with no evidence at all.

A quick Google search (I strongly recommend you try it) says that there were fires at about 6% of recycling plants worldwide. This is lower than the incidence of fires at meat processing plants, automobile factories, sawmills, power stations, or - shockingly - hospitals.

I was unable to find figures regarding fires at dragon hatcheries, but I suspect it’s pretty high.
