All of them kill astronomically more children than any toy, even taking into account their generally more practical uses. There are substitutes.

No, your rebuttal misses that there's a numerator and a denominator in mine: hazard and utility.

I'm taking that into account actually. That's why I said "taking into account their more practical uses".
