Would we finally settle the Fiji question?

After reading The Sixth Extinction, one of the researchers I met at One Tree sent me an email telling me I was lucky I hadn’t been attacked by a shark that night. I am glad I didn’t know about the danger of a shark attack while I was out there wandering around on the reef, chest-deep in water, in the pitch dark.
