The article itself suggested that there was no reporting of the seriousness of the bites, only that a doctor was involved, so in some cases because of rabies concerns and not the severity.
The 2004 study also looked like it didn't attacks/bites from mixed breeds bites.
It doesn't really seem clear that the breed ban in Toronto didn't work if they're leaving out bite from 2004 and including them in the last study, and also ignoring the seriousness of the bites.
Though I am sure a Rottweiler or German Shepard bite could be painful.
