There's lots of statistical data already in the post about evidence that you will be glad you went. That wasn't what Silas Barta asked, and frankly I'm not sure this thread is going to be productive given the way the opening question was framed.

I am not sure this thread is helpful, particularly given the way the opening question was framed.

I agree. But Silas is just doing his due diligence to ask that sort of question every time one of these things is mentioned, and surely that's valuable to have around.
