If Nothing Goes Wrong, Is Everything All Right?: Interpreting Zero Numerators
TL;DR: The occurrence of "no events" seems to be viewed as very different both quantitatively and qualitatively from the occurrence of one or more events, so it is useful to look into some of the statistical and psychological issues that influence the occurrence.
