This is such a dishonest reading of the text that I suspect you didn’t read it at all.
Nobody said that shark attacks don’t happen, just that they are rare and that sharks are incredibly ecologically important. “Sharks can, but almost certainly won’t hurt you” and “sharks are ecologically important” are only statements at odds with each other if your goal is to turn the entire planet into a daycare.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this comment is. Sharks are insurmountably important for the oceanic ecosystem and the historic methods of research and development are really interesting. You have a greater chance of drowning at the beach, no question.
