This POV, while radically different from EY's, makes a lot more sense to me, and probably to most ordinary people. I wonder if there is a believable mathematical calculation either way.

What? Seriously? Most ordinary people think that human caused extinction events are vastly less likely than natural ones? But.... that's crazy! I must really be out of touch.

I suspect it's one of those cases where the answer you get from most people depends on how you ask the question... that is, on what kinds of priming/anchoring effects are in play.
