Lateral thinking...
Way back during WWII, statistician Abraham Wald was asked to help the British decide where to add armour to their bombers. After analyzing the records, he recommended adding more armour to the places where there was no damage. This seems backward at first, but Wald realized his data came from bombers that survived. That is, the British were only able to analyze the bombers that returned to England; those that were shot down over enemy territory were not part of their sample. These bombers' wounds showed where they could afford to be hit. Said another way, the undamaged areas on the survivors showed where the lost planes must have been hit because the planes hit in those areas did not return from their missions.
