That sound remarkably like your problem, as you're the one trying to prove that highsec is super safe.

I didn't post any stats or badly analyse anything, I simply stated a method by which you could determine highsec danger levels.

If anyone wants to have a mature debate about my method then I'm happy to participate and to make sensible changes to give a more accurate picture.
The number of targets not getting shot is fairly irrelevant when determining the level of danger each person is up against, especially when you can't see what jumps are a target and what jump isn't. It might be that every person worth killing that jumped through that day got killed.

Yeah, I know right? Everyone else can have their opinions and conclusions and they don't need anything to back them up, however me using my 9 years of experience in EVE and countless more in other games, development and analytics isn't enough. I need me some more evidence! We both know that the type of evidence being asked for is data neither of us would have access to, and it's demanded as a way to stall the argument.
At the end of the day, If I'm not allowed to claim that ganking is too easy (based on my own personal experience of ganking people, and a general understanding of ganking mechanics), that botters benefit from their competition being removed (based on a basic understanding of economics) and that code are griefers (based on the things they say in local, their blog, their 'tear jar' forum and the countless players claiming harassment) without providing substantial evidence for the claims, then why should I accept your counter claims without the same?
