I'll give you that one, I didn't study it too hard

Well, looking at the trend I call it not significant. But we can agree
to disagree. As you point out, the numbers are small and annualy
variable

What would complete the picture is to know how many people
WEREN'T killed (ie the number of fatal and non-fatal incidents).
That would be the true indicator of how lethal each voltage is. And
a non-fatal incident is most unlikely to be reported, so we'll never
know for sure

"The only way to prove it conclusively would be properly controlled
scientific experiments, but that isn't going to happen"

I'm sure there are regimes around the world who would be willing
to conduct such experiments for the right price
