You can depends on the cohorts sizes. Order of magnitude is probably large here tho.

I somehow doubt when correct in absolute numbers lap infants are saving any lives.

Run the model in AI on real cohorts and absolute numbers it’s a wash at best and an urban legend at worse. 5 lives saved over a decade. Toothpicks on a plane likely killed more people than that.

To be clear but the NTSB and the American society of pediatrics have both said the FAAs math here is totally bunk.
