This seems to me, on its face, quite likely to be true.
However, to assert it as fact seems hard to me since we are talking about the
cases that are *not* caught, not so?
Is there a study that backs up this strong statement? I would be glad to
know if there is, as it would increase my confidence in throwing around this
almost blanket statement ("always dies...usually survives.")
Thanks in advance -- Elisheva
