Regarding the breed stats and biting prevalence - I'm not sure anyone has said that a Pitbull or whatever is more likely to bite someone. In fact - I'd guess that tiny dogs are more likely to bite based on experience.
But the extent of damage is more important here. In my area - the most likely animal to attack me is a goose, but we worry more about the odd bear or a coyote even though they will probably just ran away if they see me versus the goose that will attack me virtually 100% of the time if I walk anywhere near its nest.
