I'm confused what this comment is saying - are you just trying to say that someone getting killed by a car is really really bad? If so, I agree.

I've never heard of "expectancy value" in my life - it's definitely not a standard probability term.




I just translated the German term Erwartungswert wrong. The English term seems to be “expected value”, and it’s basic enough that you learn it in high school.
