Hmmm, how very interesting that you should say so. Given this viewpoint what's with your agitation over this accident ... or last year's flip ? or the one in Missouri ?? If your argument is that said "offshore" powerboats are killers by design then I'd think you'd have sufficient evidence of such w/o dragging in non-relevant data points.
I've always considered appealing to people's emotions rather than to their intellect to be a sign of a weak argument.
I think the stats cited above speak to how much concern is warranted to the "offshore" problem. IF safe boating were the sole concern, I'd really expect you to be pushing for the return of Prohibition.
