    It is not much better. Note that one of the sources of the one commenting explicitly states

    In contrast to what has been reported in the news media, the data from this study CANNOT be used to infer any breed-specific risk for dog bite fatalities (e.g., neither pit bull-type dogs nor Rottweilers can be said to be more “dangerous” than any other breed based on this study).

    Which is the commenters purpose in referencing that study. The study explicitly says it does not support their opinion.

      Yeah, I do explain the same further down, didn’t see the need to specifically highlight that. Much better doesn’t mean good, just a lot better than the first attempt that had almost nothing of substance and was actively off-putting.

      Using a paper to make a point it doesn’t support is better than not using papers and citing sketchy factoids.
