Serious question: did you read the whole sentence? "as a general rule..."
When you shoot at the range, do you say "if you ignore all the flyers, it's a sub MOA grouping?"
Your choice of weasel clause does not dilute your underlying message.
When using the phrase, "as a general rule" certainly one is implying over 50% of the cases. Perhaps 80% or higher as I consider the meaning of "general rule".
You are still arguing that greater than 50% of "people without kids shouldn't be left alone around kids.
Based upon your standards, hospitals, schools, daycare facilities and more should immediately be suspect of any employee around children who don't have children themselves.
Your thinking is simply inconceivable.
I don't deny there are some predators out there. Some predators have kids. Some don't. Predators will be predators and often insert themselves into careers or relationships that allow them to take advantage of children.
FYI 96% of child sexual predators are male. Using your logic, as a general rule we should keep all males away from children.
