So that explains the 3,000 amputations every year caused by contact with
the
rotating cutter, huh?

I'd be interested in more detail behind the 3,000 amputations. Perhaps if
you could provide information about the degree of amputation, etc. I
realize it's a statistic, but it's also being bannered about here as if it
has some meaning. As it stands today, the phrase 3,000 amputation has no
meaning whatsoever and in fact has nothing more than shock value. That's
one of the things I like least about what I see Gass doing. Those who have
to resort to that type of tactic only do so because something else isn't up
to par in their claim.
