There was at one time conclusive evidence that certain
diseases, e.g., leukemia, were 100% fatal.
We do not in fact know that it will always remain
impossible to survive a decapitation. Admittedly, the
time window in which one should initiate whatever
lifesavings measures you've got is short. But that's
true for an arterial wound also. Getting your throat
cut is also "conclusively proved" to be fatal but
people now survive and recover.
Christopher Reeve may be the closest thing we've
got yet to surviving a decapitation. The spinal
cord was severed. That's the thing that kills you
in that injury.
