Finding statistical "faults" without experts in the specific narrow area of research being consulted reeks of politics.

On the subject of banning gas stoves specifically. I think 100% of everyone suspects that is going to happen at some point. Why not now?

Are we implying that gas stoves are safe? Surely this is just a straw that broke the camel's back for the CPSC and likely they didn't need much if any reason to ban them for safety reason, they do in fact pretty regularly kill people.

So do cars. And really how often? Can you point me to some evidence of this?

Regardless of the numbers, what's your argument here?

Why are you so happy to have a federal agency nanny away our choices of home energy supply?

In this case, one of the authors of MDPI piece was doing this: https://twitter.com/bradytoday/status/1610639235505336322

I don't think it takes an expert to realize that there is a problem with stats that say that more asthma is being caused than exists.
