This is the first time I’ve ever seen the phrase used to justify ignorance of danger, on basis of statistical outliers ignoring all context and risk factors. It kind of works but it’s also incredibly stupid.
Since that’s not what it was being used to justify, you’ve helpfully proven my point by reenacting it, staring at the tree and insisting it’s the forest.
This happens more often than you’d think, so don’t feel too bad.
