And? So what if one airplane is less safe than another? If one airplane is 99.9% safe while another is 99.7% safe, is the latter acceptable to you? Less safe still can mean safe.
An absence of accidents does not mean that a system is safe, just that an accident has not happened yet.
So how exactly are you going to measure safety?
