That's like blaming a guy who's 6'5" 220lb for being stronger than a woman who is 5'2' 110lbs. Is that man more dangerous than the woman, because the one time he attacks he causes serious injury, rather than the minor injury the petite woman causes even if she attacks on a more frequent basis?

No, it's not like that at all. People and dogs are not the same. The only thing in common is that people can be responsible for both situations, whereas a dog can never train a person to be a violent face ripper.
What I'm really not getting is why people are so attached to the breed. I can understand being attached to their actual dogs, but for the sake of argument, grandfathering a ban over the next 15 years... Would that be so bad?
