Hey, it's not my issue if you throw swearwords around in lieu of rational argument, or accuse people of innumeracy instead of offering actual research. As i said, nevermind
OK, we're getting there. You admit the concept of plausibility can be enough. Now tell me how it's plausible that as many as 60% of all inpatient deaths every year are due to medical error. Do you really believe that? Do you believe it's 30% (250K)?

Whether or not I think the upper limit of the range (400k) is implausible or not is irrelevant. The current best estimate is 251,454, and whether I find that plausible or not is, again, irrelevant

Of course. it's relevant. People can argue over what is and is not a plausible result, but to say that one's considerations of plausibility don't matter is to turn one's back on critical thinking about what's in the literature.
