Assuming it killed 15000 people, that is still over 8000 transactions per person killed... Nothing is perfect.

If one person died for every 8000 transactions on the Visa network it would be nothing short of global genocide.

Credit networks ran 468 billion transactions in 2020, so that would be 60 million dead.

"Pobody's nerfect" hardly seems like the right response.
