That's like saying that to ban apples, we need to show that someone 
somewhere died from eating too many apples.

That it happens once, a few times, or several times is of no 
significance.  Instead, we need to look at a proportion out of all 
countries.

How many countries during the same time frame have had their governments 
replaced by less controlling regimes?

How many countries during the same time frame haven't even had a change 
of government?
