Okay, here is a very simple proof. I just burned a flag. Really. Just
now. I drew a little flag on a piece of paper and I burned it.

Did anyone die? No, nobody. In fact nobody knew or cared. Your claim
that burning flags results in the death of people has just been shot down.

Now then, if you want to argue that it SOMETIMES results in their death
then you need to factor in some other causes. If you're going to argue
that those other causes are so statistically unavoidable as to be
necessarily attached to the act of burning the flag then you need to prove
that correlation. The onus is ON YOU as you are the one pulling for the
law.

Sure, I've got a PhD in math. You?
