Have done a little more thinking about this "fact".  The amount of time 
that people tend to be in contact with family members is several billion 
times greater than the amount of time they spend in contact with "armed 
intruders".  This means that an armed intruder is several hundred million 
times more dangerous to be in contact with then a family member is.
