On the road, which wheel gives you the most flats, front or rear?

I've always found that I have the most flats on my back tire because that's the wheel that goes through the most stress.  I think I have more flats in the back because it's the drive wheel whereas the front wheel is the steering wheel.

Right?

On my recumbent trike with two wheels in the front and one in the back the flats are almost always in the front. I guess that is because there are twice as many tires up front as in the back, so two times more opportunity to get a flat.
