    It’s also more likely that you’ll get to the store and back without an automobile accident, but you still wear the seatbelt for that 1/10,000 chance. Because the one time out of 10,000 that you get in an accident, you need the seatbelt no matter how rare a situation it is.

      So, do you think we should put that information at the top of every search result?

      Putting it on every search result is obviously extreme. There has to be a cutoff where you think that it’s probably not helpful to show someone the information so you don’t.

      As long as there’s a difference in rate of different genders being the perpetrator of domestic violence, then you’re going to have a difference in when you hit that threshold for it becoming helpful, and you’ll get things like this where “man yelling” vs “woman yelling” land on different sides of that cutoff.
      We can lower the threshold, and then you’ll get it for “man seems upset” vs “woman seems upset”.
