Before we start:
Dr. Andrew Thaler’s webpage: https://andrewdavidthaler.org/
Dr. Andrew Shiffman’s webpage: https://search.asu.edu/profile/3531441

These two experts talked about the likelihood of being electrocuted if your electric boat sank in the ocean (none) and the likelihood of you being eaten by a shark if you’re in the water after your electric boat sank (also extremely low).

They were then asked whether they would prefer to be in a boat with Trump or in the water with a man-eating shark. Both chose the shark.
