What do YOU think an "accident rate" is? Tell us. What's an accident rate, to you? HINT: It's a first-order metric, without which any other metric is meaningless because you can't have injuries/death without accidents. >> The fact is they had no effect whatsoever on the accident rate. > > Their effect on accident rates is NOT known (yet). WTF? There are (and were) accidents since the 1920s that are accurately measured in the USA even to this day; and then there were accidents when cellphones were 1%, 10%, 50% and up skyrocketing to nearly 100% in use in cars while people are driving in the USA. If you claim cellphones caused increased accidents, why is that myth not reflected in the accurate accident rate statistics of the Census Bureau? > It will maybe be > known after a decade or more of legislation forcing providers to track > and record all cell-phone traffic in moving cars and police to > cross-check, correlate if applicable and reference such database info > when writing every single accident report the world over. If cellphone use was as horrific as you seem to think it is, then why is there zero evidence in the reliable record that the accident rate was affected by the skyrocketing change in ownership from 0% to nearly 100%? >> There are reasons for that fact; but you have to accept the fact first, >> before you can even begin to understand the effect of cellphones on >> accident rates. > > Accident stats including rates may include some but are NOT, never were > nor will ever be all the facts or the facts, not even close. There's no way to discuss facts with you when your entire belief system is based on zero facts - which is why you strongly believe in a baseless myth.
