Why did I ask this question of cellphone & automotive newsgroups?

 Q: *Why do people claim cellphone use increased the USA accident rate?*
 A: ?

I'm making a point that people parrot emotional propaganda w/o thinking.
Most people simply do not understand what has always caused most accidents.
 a. Speeding
 b. Intoxication
 c. Failure to yield the right of way

Because of emotional propaganda, people lost sight of the magnitude of how
little distractions cause accidents, and how adding a new distraction to
the thousands of existing distractions, didn't cause measurable changes to
the accident rate as measured before, during and after the cellphone spike.

Most people religiously parrot the propaganda w/o even thinking about it.
Why?
