Amazing chart ... nombre de morts au combat
le débat qui s’ensuit (▻https://twitter.com/samfr/status/406923504957669376
) est en fait plus intéressant que ce graphique ; je note :
– “this looks like a classic wave pattern obscured by advances in battlefield medicine”
– “a graph of civilian deaths in war zones would complicate this”
– “slightly overstates it’s case by using a deaths per 100k.” / “as population goes up, figure goes down.”
– “conflicts with data from world health records ▻http://www.bmj.com/content/336/7659/1482”
– “At some point we have difficulty distinguishing #war from any other social #violence”
