Yes obviously it has the potential to cause damage.
Your own statistics you're quoting from show that a pure bread dog is LESS likely to bite than a mutt, period. When you have a large, powerful dog and it does bite, it does more damage. Simple physics.
I am very much a dog lover. My sister is a Veterinarian and I sometimes foster and have now adopted a Rottweiler she rescued. I know the breed very, very well, and I know my dogs are not going to just "snap" one day. My sister will tell you the same thing, which is that a well socialized, trained and properly adapted Rottweiler does NOT just suddenly snap for no reason and kill someone. The same goes for a Pittbull. I've had this VERY conversation with her, at her office, with several DVMs. When it comes to animal behaviour, she's an expert in the subject where you and I are not.
