Drone operator explains how he found missing man
How many times does a drone (operator) not locate the person? All statistics are relative to something unless there is a political spin.
Edit: add operator in brackets.

What statistic? It's just a single fact.

My point exactly. To make a rational judgement about a statistic we need statistics (plural) otherwise it's an isolated piece of data.

But this is not a statistic (singular), it's just a fact. There's no implicit judgment about drones as a whole. It's simply something that happened.
