The number of fires involving Agas is greater than would be expected
from the number in use, that isn't an opinion but a fact.

I have had serious fires regularly with gas, a
couple of fat fires with electric, never had a single fire with an aga.

I can't comment on your ineptitude, the many hundreds of cooker fires
