Out of the Dark?

I caution the reader to question some of the lightning facts presented in that thread.
Even some of the attempted corrections included erroneous statements.
I won't go into detail because the thread has been locked.

I wish to humorously point out that even the NOAA experts were "making things up" too. For example, "The injury number is likely far lower than it should be because many people do not seek help or doctors do not record it as a lightning injury."

Isn't blaming the people injured by lightning or those responsible for their treatment an excuse for NOAA's whining that they don't hear about it often enough to significantly rely on their statistics?
