Who has argued that they are "extremely likely".
The only arguments have been that amongst them are going to be those
that are extremely likely and that proportionally more of them will be
extremely likely than those without a collection of child abuse images.

Someone with a collection of child abuse images clearly has an abnormal
and extreme interest in acts of child abuse. If it was a legal activity,
it could be dismissed as harmless curiosity. But it is illegal and with
very severe penalties. So such people must be extremely interested in
acts of child abuse.

It is a bit tough on the many that don't present a threat are caught up
in the net trying to protect children from the few that are. But they
deserve no sympathy if they have deliberately broken the law in the full
knowledge of the consequences if caught.
