[quote=Anonymous]Using numbers of dead people—whether innocent men, women, and children or soldiers/militants—is never a useful argument. Why? Because the death of one innocent person is just as tragic as a dozen or a hundred. There simply is no proportional sweet spot when it comes to conflict. Fwiw, I think Maher used the example of 600 protesters for a specific purpose: to underscore the absurdity of killing the one woman as punishment for improperly covering her head. Death of one (which prompted protests leading to 600 more) in the name of religion was the point he was trying to make. Remember: his bit was aimed at Chappell Roan and the TikTok generation, so he needed to keep it at a 6th grade level. [/quote]
