Is that in absolute terms, or per child who frequents the establishment?

So something like 1 per 100,000; which of course is still 1 too many.
(The other comments in other branches seem to prove my point. I am not defending any institution by the way. No one should be covering up crimes and/or allowing criminals to victimize people further.)
"Rate" is an ambiguous word. Molested children per year is a rate just as molested children per total children is.
>something like 1 per 100,000
What is this? What number are you citing, and where are you getting it from?
I've never heard anyone say that a rate is ambiguous.
It seems like you're trying to be disingenuous, first with "rate", now with my clearly-arbitrary example of rate.
> something like
A rate is just a ratio between two quantities. You've never heard speed defined as the rate of movement?
I might have interpreted your example as such if not for the "one too many" comment. It's strange to throw out a completely fictitious figure and then lament it as if it's real.
No, it seems more like you are being disingenuous. All you have to do is drop a link to the rates you’re referring to. Instead you’re just arguing semantics. Where’s the receipts?
> something like
I thought adding "for example" at the end was just unnecessary redundancy, but I guess I was wrong.
I still don't understand why the other person is trying to cross-examine me on the definition of "rate" or whatever though. That is the person arguing semantics, not me... (Same with you, except you're going one step further and trying to gaslight me.)
I'm curious, do you have something against churches and/or Scouts?
