"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by drinking too much water?"

"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by having too vigorous sex?"

"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by getting into a heated discussion about a stupid topic?"

"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by riding a bike?"

I rest my case, this is a complete waste of time and I give it up.

if the question of whether people have died as a result of intelligence failures is a waste of time for you, then you should not have replied to the thread answering this question ("yes"), arguing with that answer

by failing to acknowledge the answer (again: "yes") you fail to graduate to the next discussion, which, obviously, necessarily builds upon a shared understanding of facts
