Now seems to be a good point to mention the lack of double-blind testing that has been performed on parachutes.

The absence of data for a plausible relationship doesn't make it impossible, it makes it currently unknown either way.
But life is so much easier when you don't have to do IS NULL checks.

I hypothesize that this statement is false (or null). I guess we better use an exact equality operator.
Until there's data, there's no evidence that hot grills burn my hand if I place it on one.
This is the sort of crap that tries to apply the scientific method like a hammer and seeing nothing but nails.
The absence of data for a plausible relationship doesn't make it impossible, it makes it currently unknown either way. This nuance in the explanations of the limits of current knowledge is often lost on black&white thinking, overly-rational individuals who give the impression something is impossible or unlikely because it is currently unknown.
