I didn't dismiss the study at all. In fact it supports the notion that more experienced pilots have lower accident rates. I merely pointed out some limitations with the study, which apparently may have led to your bizarre conclusion:
"However, above 9999 hours, the death rate increased precipitously, and never returned to the 5000-9999 level."
The 2nd quote was a direct observation of the data in the study, which you kindly explained should not be taken as indicative of what is showed because of the limitations of the data.
In the raw data provided, the lowest death rate was when the pilots had between 5000 and 9999 hours of experience; pilots with 9999+ hours of experience actually had a much higher passenger death rate.
I am still looking for a study that proves what some people here are arguing, that flight hours experience correlates with lower death rates by a sufficient amount to make it worth the cost to require higher hours experience.
