    No it isn’t. Adding

    … than there would be if this safety requirement were not implemented.

    Makes it correct. This didn’t exist in the original article.

      It doesn’t need to be said. Things that happen in the future are in addition to the things that happened in the past. “I ate scores of breakfasts this year. I will eat dozens more each month.” is not false. No need to add “… than I would if I stopped eating entirely.”

        Lol. I can also say…

        I will die today

        And

        I will die today if I drink this poison.

        Pretty different meaning.
