Confirmation bias.

I didn't write that my home was struck by lightning three times, I wrote that I was personally aware of three lightning strikes that did not start fires. Three separate homes, only one owned by me, two states, and several years apart.

It is the fact that none of these three caused fires or serious damage to the home that drives me to question the statistics and fear being pushed by those who appear to have the phone numbers for the local LPS installers memorized.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
