It's like my science used to say in grade school, "100% of people who consume dihydrogen monoxide end up dead".

Water has quite a few side effects, the evidence is clear!

Just like how 100% of people that conflate correlation & causation die.

I mean it was sarcasm

Phrasing is wrong. You have consumed water and are alive.

The correct phrasing could be something like "100% of people who died have consumed dihydrogen monoxide at some point in their lives".

You have consumed water and are alive.

Bold assumption! Jokes aside, perhaps that was the phrasing that he used. Unfortunately it's been quite a while since I was in grade school.
