Oh god! Not this again...

Before anyone responds you need to address three key flaws in your OP. 

1. You present no data nor evidence. As a "trained scientist" - lol! - you
should do better than that. A vague link is not enough. Be explicit
regarding what data there is, the source and what you think it supports and
how. 
2. Remember absence of proof is not proof of absence. A complex environment
can mask one affect with another, competing, one. 
3. An argument to say that we're always distracted and we shouldn't bother
to target a solvable distraction isn't valid. All avoidable accidents and
deaths on the road should be targeted and reduced. 

If you do not address all three points. There's no reason to engage with
this topic with you.
