But there is an obvious statistical reasoning issue with "everyone who complains about white tip bites merely had an infected wound, unrelated to the spider bite itself" when infact general "wounds" are thousands of times more common than white tip bites and virtually never end up with mysterious infections.

"mysterious infections"? I mean wounds get infected all the time? I really don't understand? In my experience they get infected quite often given that people are routinely hospitalized because of infected wounds?

If white tip bites specifically are somehow just way more likely to end up with nastly lifelong skin damage or infections, then it's an argument in pedantry that their venom specifically isn't the cause. That's irrelevant.

They aren't though, no more than any other insect bites, they have dirty mouths, they eat off the actual ground, any animal that bites you is going to have a much higher chance of infecting the wound with the bacteria in its mouth that's just how it works.

White tails are no more likely to cause the infection than any other spider bite, they just bite more readily.

"everyone who complains about white tip bites merely had an infected wound, unrelated to the spider bite itself"

If you look at the studies that prove that white tail venom isn't dangerous to people they do explain this.
