From the article:
“Consider this: If ten million people are going to die with a probability of 10%, that is like one million people dying with a probability of 100%.”

Lies.
Damn lies.
Statistics.

That would also mean that a billion people (a far closer representative of the actual world population) stand a one-in-a-thousand chance of dying.

So the man wants to kill people because a billion future people stand a one-in-a-thousand chance of dying.
