Not a guess at all, I've explained why thigh shots are only slightly less lethal, you choose to ignore it while you dance in a circle with your little buddies.  I know it makes you feel better, it doesn't make you any less wrong.
You're the one who brought up that paragon of restraint, the IDF, and leg shots.  Own it clown.

Indeed I am the one who brought up the IDF, in part as a counter to your claim that no one who "knows guns" would ever tell anyone to shoot for anything but "center mass." Yet there is the IDF calling leg shots. My "paragon of constraint" was policing in the UK.

And no, you have not explained why rifle shots are only "slightly" less lethal.  You just reported what everyone already knows about greater shock to flesh from a rifle slug.  Then CLAIMED thigh shots were therefore only "slightly" less lethal than torso shots. 

To point out why your report-on-what-everyone-already-knows is inadequate is not to ignore it.  And it is inadequate on at least two counts:

1) As already stated, it is easier to apply tourniquets to extremities than the torso. And there are no vital organs in them. That is why soldiers often survive severe wounds to the extremities--even legs sheered off at the thigh breaking the bone and severing ALL arteries and veins. But they never survive a torso sheered in half. So its hard to understand how anyone would define "slightly less" here, or even see a (legitimate) reason to make such a claim and then double down on it with everything including personal attack and anything but data.

2) Data constructing a ratio might make your case, but you don't seem to have it, or don't know how to get it an use to replace your impression.

You have had ample opportunity to meet these objections without merely repeating claims under question, attacking strawmen, and lapsing into crude, nervous discharge.

I do have one request, please tell me again that rifle rounds are no more dangerous than pistol rounds and then say you never said that.  Pretty please with sugar on top.
