They can be 10 times more aggressive, it doesn't matter. But once pit bull (or similar type of dog that was made to kill) grab your artery , you won't have enough time to reconsider your opinion.
Last night I was looking at young girl going with her dad and having some small dog on collar. Three women were coming their way and small white dog become aggressive and started barking and going fast toward those people. Their reaction was to laugh , stop and say how cute is small white dog, even if he is aggressive (but he is not dangerous).

This, I think, is ultimately the point. I think the dogs that bite the most, statistically speaking, are either Chihuahuas or Dachshunds. I have a friend whose aunt has a Dachshund that bites everyone that comes over and she thinks its cute. The difference, as you point out, is when a little Chihuahuas bites you it might not even leave a mark. If a pit gets aggressive with you then you likely have real trouble.
The other day I did a google search and found that the best estimate is that there are around 53 million dogs in the US. Of that around 5.3 million of them are purebred pit bulls. In 2014 there were 27 people killed by pits. Clearly the dogs aren't running amuck killing wholesale, but they do have the ability to destroy a person if they want.
