For the Atlantic, I agree with Gordon and Karl being retired. and Klaus and Hortense being unretired. Juan being retired in 2003 takes care of the 1985 problem. Objectively, Alex could've gone either way. Same with Diana (killed 140 people in Mexico alone), Paloma (losses were tremendous on the two little Cayman Islands but sparing Grand Cayman offset that), and Joaquin (its moisture contributed to the $2 billion South Carolina flooding disaster). However, there've been worse disasters for those places than any of those hurricanes so we can call it even. As for the EPAC, I'd like to understand why Fico and Knut were retired and I agree with you that Paul, Liza, Beatriz, and countless other EPAC storms should've been retired.
