  • > I don't know how to explain this other than movie-caused mortality.

    The above sentence alone gets my Skepticism antennae whirling, let alone the majority of the (relatively unassociated) facts.

    What the heck is movie-caused mortality?

    An exact search[0^] returns this same HN post, no help there.

    An inexact search[1^] returns results mainly about deaths that occurred during the filming of a movie or TV show. These deaths are very much not the point the OP is trying to make.

    Issue #1): the sentence quoted above is non-sensical, as the OP's purported method for "how to explain this," doesn't explain anything, let alone anything related to the point OP is trying to make.

    Issue #2): Even if "movie-caused mortality" was a valid explanation... Not knowing how to explain something doesn't allow one to arrive at any conclusion (other than, "the thing can not be explained," pedantically speaking).

    Frankly, it makes as much (as little!) sense as, "I don't know how to explain this other than time-traveling telepathic murder bots."
