This is a fallacy. The fallacy of using Quality statements in order to negate Quantity. An earthquake of level 10.0 is just like an earthquake of level 4.0, only longer and bigger. A flooding is just like normal raining, only with more rain. In most situations a big change in quantity makes all the difference, like in this case. If police forces analyze 20000 people a year,mostly criminals in criminal scenes, it is completely different than analyzing millions, mostly normal people.
