This is indeed a matter of speculation ofcourse, but: my 2 cents

Where did you even get these statistics from....

That's where the -ish comes in I don't know what the percentage of insane people is in this world, and no doubt it's gonna be more than 3%, what this point was meant to say was that perfectly sane people can LD all they want. If you're already insane, bad things can (and with high probability will) happen.

That's hearsay, or at worst, made up. Presuming that Dr. Schwartz is not also being misrepresented by ABC, it is obvious that he is a not a clear thinker. I would not suggest that he try lucid dreaming, as is it doubtful that he could become cognizant enough to achieve lucidity."

Thanks for the effort
