The crucial number is $1,300,000. Unless we've paid out more than $130,000 for all other lawsuits, that 90% is a reasonable belief.

Incorrect, but reasonable. That's the problem with rare-event statistics. A single high-level case in 45 years is just not enough data to base anything on.

But until we start getting sued over feasts, there's even less data to call that a major liability issue.
