I can't apply the statistics to a single individual? That's what makes the numbers "real" and something to relate to. It's like talking about how much oil is in ANWR, or the national debt or something- the numbers are so huge and/or so foreign to our usual realm of experience that they mean nothing.
What is the best way to convey to an individual their odds of _______ , so that they can do a risk/reward analysis? Deaths/100,000,000 miles travelled is a fairly abstract and therefore useless metric for me because I don't have any relevant personal experience with 100,000,000 miles.
