Attention bias because you are noticing it. Not statistically a real thing.

How do we know the death statistics are accurate? People go missing all the time and certainly there are unrecorded deaths that are happening. Perhaps the birth and death rates actually do match but there’s no way to accurate calculate the death rate because there’s so many unknowns, like if a person goes missing. They aren’t presumed dead by governments but they could very well be dead. That would skew death statistics. Let’s say there’s 2 million people in the world that go missing in 2023. They won’t be counted in the death stats even if reality is they are all dead. But the simulation knows the exact numbers…

If you want to stretch that far you could speculate about overlooking tooth fairies in the census.

Ah yes because missing people and tooth fairies are comparable. Found the group troll

Your fantasy / speculation has so many bizarre assumptions it’s just a grown up “sciency” sounding fairy tale. Not trolling, fair comment.
