In its annual report on “global catastrophic risk,” the nonprofit debuted a startling statistic: Across the span of their lives, the average American is more than five times likelier to die during a human-extinction event than in a car crash. That's not a statistic. It's a probabilistic prediction masquerading as a scientific "fact". The correct phrasing should be "If our model is correct,..." Mighty big if.

It all depends on weather you are the one in the car.
