This might be a bit 'cynical' and I accept that some might find it
unacceptable, but perhaps you might consider where the majority of
investments are made in defences etc, and where the majority of death
and damages occur. I personally suspect that the two areas might be
different.
This is of course only MY opinion and doesn't necessarily represent
the opinion of my place of employment or any other people or bodies
to which I am affiliated.
