The breakdown stats were a mess until they started tracking and keeping them them recently. The whole point of establishing the databank was that there was nobody accurately doing it before. And comparing different breeds or countries especially with incomplete data is a gigantic waste of time.
The stats I'm talking about are peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Sorry to see you call all that research, "a gigantic waste of time", especially as you admit you've not looked at any of it.

You cant use the stats to say that synthetic tracks are safer then discount the same stats saying that they aren't.
I didn't say that - I said that's not been proven statistically significant yet. It may, over time.

I know the entire process is seriously flawed and pretty much discount the entire thing.
Out of hand. Very well. Okay.
