There's a story that Wong Wifu, the great Chinese martial artist... had a fight with a guy and beat him. Then the guy gave him this light tap. Wong looked at him and the guy just nodded. That was it. He had given him the death touch. Wong died.

Then and there?

No. About eighteen years later. That's the thing about Dim Mak... you never know when it's gonna take effect.

Statistically if you're born, at some point you will die. Being born is deadly.

About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

It's more than that... I know you were joking but ...

Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%

You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

Those people were alive and died it doesn't matter... There have been more people dead than are currently living by a lot.

We don't care how many people were alive back than compared to today. It's the total amount to how many have died...
