That’s not what I was on about. I’m not pro any brand in particular.
It was a simple search to show fires happen at dealerships of other brands too. And as you’ve now found there is no reliable independent data on fires at dealerships by brand.
So, nobody can really state whether BYD has more or less dealership fires than any other brand.
I was saying that 10 fires in 3 years makes me nervous about byd cars, you suggested that that’s expected, but your evidence doesn’t support that at all.
Preliminary searches about the data points you brought up yielded less dealership fires per brand than BYD.
Additionally, you clearly believe that this is a good enough source of data such that you cited it yourself in your own arguments, it seems a little dishonest to say “search results were a good enough source of data when it supported my argument, but not when it goes against my argument - that’s when we need reliable independent datasets”
EDIT: Ah, I see now, you weren’t saying that byd is a safe brand, you were saying that I shouldn’t be nervous about 10 fires in 3 years because other places also have fires. That line of reasoning is a little silly - “yes, murder town has a potentially high count of murders per capita, but don’t worry about it because murders happen elsewhere!”

And to add to your analogy a little, we are told the murder rate at murder town, but don’t know the per capita murder rate of any other towns.
So your argument isn’t actually
Because you don’t have the data to back it up, your argument is actually
?
I’m down with the latter.
