Um, quote taken out of context.

I was talking about how I agreed with his divisions of that 5%. What we're confused about is whether the 5% was all failures, or whether it was made up of failures, enhancements, and non-improvements. That's what,"the figures you estimate" meant. 5% is one figure For example, what is the success rate for most types of plastic surgery, like breast implants?

That said, I don't think 95% is a good success rate, but I also would like to know what the real numbers are. Looking back at the thread, the first mention of the 5% figure was from DWallach who said,"Last I checked, the "complication" rate was hovering around 5%." Who knows if that number is accurate.
