I would think the opposite were true.  E.g. if I were cruising and had
killed a boat full of people I thought were pirates I doubt I would go
broadcasting that fact at the next yacht club.  In many countries
pirates (or 'fishermen' who dabble in piracy) who go missing would never
be missed or reported in the media and such an incident would never be
known.  But If a cruising boat had turned up missing, or full of pirates
when it pulled up at the yacht club, you can bet it would be
broadcast.... 

but that's just my perspective.  I would be interested in knowing the
true stats, although like you say, these stats can't really ever be
accurately established.
