Electric dryers are FAR more likely to cause a fire.

"LED flashlights are FAR more likely to cause fires than my trusty Tilley-lamp!"

I think someone doesn't understand conditional probabilities. It's as if you're arguing that cows are more dangerous as animals than sharks, because more people die to cows than sharks. This omits the fact that a lot more people interact with cows than sharks.

Just like if you look at stats on appliance fires. I wouldn't have even guessed that even in Hicksville USA, people still actually run gas appliances. D'you also have a gas fridge?

Other than camper vans from the 80's, I haven't even seen gas powered appliances. Even in the army in the 00's, we would use diesel-generators and then use electricity. Well aside from the stoves, which weren't gas either. Diesel burners.

But yeah I'd be interested to be proven wrong and have you prove that electric dryers are more likely to catch fire.
