The "best" is dating events in Holy-Roman era books. Aside from the variable of several years, then there's also that some sects date from "birth" others "baptism" or "death".

Further, each time the book got hand copied, you've no idea whether that monk copied verbatim dates OR believed (possibly wrongly) that the prior copy was dating heretically, and took the liberty of "correcting" it.

So several iterations along, book could be stating a century off...

The (really really really BIIIIG!!!) difference is:

Leftists that are not tankies do NOT vote for tankies, whilst busily gaslighting everyone ("They are not a Tankie, because that words meaningless!"). Whereas Liberals, Centrists and Republicans DO vote for conservative parties harbouring some Nazis!

Q: What do you call a big tent conservative party with a couple Nazis in it?

A: the Nazi Party!

All reactors are subject to overheat leading to meltdown when suddenly shutdown. They become massive energy vampires, requiring huge cooling power (and manpower) for up to 2 years after to avoid that.

What are the odds that a "social collapse" (war, plague, disaster, etc) leaves some with no workers and no external juice? Not if, when! Meltdowns will occur, some will breach containment. Only fools light an unextinguishable fire that kills them if they ever stop feeding it.

While reactor designs are "safe": this requires that they follow protocols, which often means unplanned downtime. Given the social pressures for energy, it seems that reactor operators will sometimes disobey shutdown requirements. Corruption is real in all societies. With reactors it absolutely includes a non-zero catastrophe chance. Again not if, when!

Reactors are safe, for a pre-designed lifespan. Often 50 years. To decommission properly is massively expensive and takes years of labour, and requires a replacement plant. Are operators actually squirreling away the funds to have this all saved up 50 years later (by "overcharging" now)? Or are the future governments just gonna keep patching a pig... not if, when!

What kind of containment system will work for 10s of thousands of years? What does that cost, or even look like?

It's also very difficult statistically to remove the co-morbidity factors:

populations that eat more "processed" foods !especially in the US! are poor, in toxic environs, stressed, over-policed, incarcerated, discriminated, unstable housing healthcare employment, using "coping" mechanisms, in a food desert, multigenerational defecit of various "health skills", no "free" time for cooking and exercise, etc etc etc

If they had healthcare, housing and union jobs ... stats wouldn't be near so bad for them

My (cat person) mom has the following axiom: if the cat is at your home, it is your cat

It's especially quaint how Tom prescribes hobbits must run around naked as a cure, and as he rides off Sam observes "I think if we travel the whole wide world, we shall never meet anyone quite as queer as Tom!"
