Oh, "a leading" not "the leading"

You mean like "falling into a single rusty nail is the leading caused of tetanus of the eye? But only a leading cause of loosing an eye?" Scientists, though, have proven that falling right on a rusty nail pointing perfectly upwards with its pointy side straight into the eye is 100% effective at inducing eye removal surgery.
