Also true for designing statues (or buildings and bridges). The engineer makes sure these things are balanced and will stand the test of time.
So if you have a cook/engineer that cooked/designed something that led to food poisoning/collapsed bridge do you express pessimism that they can do their job or optimistically say “oh it’s alright, they’ve done good work before.”
2. You were the first to bring up planes/cars and how I shouldn’t be getting into them. Which is a terrible analogy because the circumstances are not controlled by one person (for the most part).
I modified your analogy to drunk driving to make it better. Driver who drinks and drives get taken off road...not “oh he doesn’t crash every time, I’ll be optimistic and let it go.”
Pretty sure that’ll still go over your head. I mean how can I argue against “optimism?”

You can't stay on topic. And you don't even know you're using points that go against your own argument.
Good lord ...I guess I'll keep it simple just for you.
- You don't have proof. You don't know this statue will lean. You just have an opinion. This is the real topic.
- You're the one trying to invalidate other people's belief ...that this statue still has a chance to be one of the good ones that don't lean. This you can't understand.
- You said it yourself, food poisoning is caused by human factors. Guess what ...human factors cause crashes too ...maintenance errors, manufacturing errors, pilot errors, driver errors, etc. Your point is working against you.
- There's more than one person involved in preparing food, in building a bridge, in building and maintaining a plane. Anyone of those involved can make mistakes that can lead to food poisoning, a collapsed bridge or a plane crash. Again, your point is working against you.
- The plane analogy was in response to your food poisoning analogy. Again, this goes against your point.
- To your mentality, you shouldn't be using any vehicle because "circumstances are not controlled by one person".
- Bringing up drunk drivers is another attempt to get off topic. You can argue that with yourself.
