I agree that the comparison is uninteresting. I did not miss the
point, I am making a different point.

My point is that the comparison of murder rates between a single city
and an aggregaton of cities is meaningless, yet it is presented as
data that I am expected to percieve as useful.

I get your/their point. Any time people are not getting killed, it is good
news.

How did you know I live in Cary? :-)
