Tim,
I don't know about "safer" but I can name some pilots who I don't think would
pass a medical.
I have instructed Kerrie to sue and require testing of these pilots should I be
killed in a mid-air with them.

Sorry, that does not answer the question.
Where is the evidence that pilots with a Class 2 medical are safer?
