That's a conversation I've had more than once with my parents:
-- Doing X is fine! Everybody did it in my time and we grew up just fine!
-- Didn't that friend of yours die because of it?
-- Yeah, but he's only a single person, and everybody did X...
Anytime I hear this argument from someone, I tell them to go look up the term, "survivorship bias".
I mean we figured this shit out during WWII, FFS. People need to keep up.
I guess they forgot to teach that in classes since then
Partly because the famous example is from WW2 not WW1. We did not have planes like that in WW1, unless you exist in the world of Yojou Senki but at that point you have other problems like Niche god, Megalomanic Jesus, and Tanya Von Degurechaff ranting about the Chicago school of economics.
