> concern then falls off to zero as you approach closer to the dam! That is, the people living immediately under the dam, the ones most certain to be drowned in a dam burst, profess unconcern.

It's a fun story but it doesn't prove causality. Maybe their faith in the dam is why they moved there.

That seems very far fetched: by the description that river was well populated before the dam was built, so the ones left closest is by majority those that stayed after it was completed.
