Because whether or not he'll re-offend is an unknown quantity, so trying to put a percentage on it is by definition guess work. Even if it's an educated guess.
All I said is that I think trying to give it a specific value is silly. "A very low chance" would suffice.
Seems like a really minor point to take issue with in the context of the conversation. Especially when my point really had nothing to do with their low estimate on the chance he'll re-offend. I said Even if there were a way to peg the chance at less than 1% I still think his crime should revoke his right to walk around.
