They certainly do. The point I'm making with a flights per death metric allows and controls for that - if a political figure dies every 1000 flights, and a normie dies every 10000 flights for example, the skew in mortality rate is significant regardless of how much they each respectively fly.

The theory came to light during the death of Paul Wellstone who was a prominent antiwar voice & vote in opposition to the 2003 Iraq war. Means, motive and opportunity usually factors into these things, so theres your motive.
