The difference between leaders is what those circumstances are. It's in where that line is. [1]
Public communications on this subject have to be taken with a pound of salt. It's in every nuclear nation's interests to claim that line is further out than it really is... As long as they believe that broadcasting the claim itself won't start nuclear war.
It's also in every nuclear nation's interests to be very mindful about where their adversary's line is.
[0] Okay, there might be a closet pacifist somewhere that won't use them in any situation, but if there is, they certainly aren't broadcasting that.
[1] So far, we're batting a thousand for 'No national leader whose last name was not Truman started a nuclear war in a situation where his state was not fighting an existential war'.
This statistic, unfortunately, is not particularly helpful.
That said, I don't think any of this math is pointing us toward any kind of answer about how likely any person alive right now is to experience nuclear war, which is really what we're after. At the very most, every day that nobody uses one extends the lower bound of how often they are likely to be used (77 years and counting), but this is almost tautological. Also, maybe it follows some kind of power law and the farther away from their invention, the less likely we are to use them? Or maybe the opposite? Or maybe we oscillate between the two in some sinusoidal pattern? In any case, we can't know. History is not an experimental science.
