You asserted the number was too low for it to be considered indicative, that then begs the question implied in your assertion: what then is that number?

"But indictments of society like the OP need to be based more on some kind of verifiable info other than "that's what I think"."

One would think the reverse is true...? Defense of a society should also be based on more than "that's what I think" which ios precisely what you did. Either the reverse is not true, or you're holding yourself to a different standard.
