This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

The infrequency of an event doesn’t determine its value or importance.

no, so I have this meteor hit insurance for you... it only costs 120% of your income

I’ve never had an accident so I guess I don’t need car insurance or seatbelts.

but you just said the infrequency of an event does not determine value or importance???

I guess you just realized how silly your previous comment was... good for you

be sure to use the seatbelt next time you plan to have an accident

This is hilarious. Re-read my comment and what you just wrote. You don't understand what the sentence "the infrequency of an event does not determine value or importance" means. To use smaller words, it means that just because something happens infrequently, doesn't mean we shouldn't care about or plan for it. Accidents happen infrequently, but they're a big deal when they happen. An event can still be important even when it happens infrequently. You argued, above, that because something happens infrequently it's not important.
