You mean like everything I supplied showing your bullcrap to be just 
that?  Of course you cut everything and responded to none of it.

Usenet is a special place.  Calling out trolls is pretty common.  You 
should know since you are a troll and most people know it.

That would be proof you didn't read what I posted.

You don't have any facts, dipshit.  That was the point of my post.

Except for the NHTSA.

"NHTSA recognizes that there are limitations to the collection and 
reporting of FARS and CRSS data with regard to driver distraction. The 
data collections for FARS and CRSS are based on PCRs (police crash 
reports) and information gathered after the crashes have occurred."

"One noteworthy challenge for collection of distracted driving data is 
the PCR itself. PCRs vary across jurisdictions, creating inconsistencies 
in reporting. Many variables on the PCR are nearly universal, but 
distraction is not one of those variables. Some PCRs identify
distraction as a distinct reporting field while others do not have such 
a field and identification of distraction is based upon the narrative 
portion of the report. This variation in reporting forms contributes to 
variation in the reported number of distraction-affected crashes. Any
national or State count of distraction-affected crashes should be 
interpreted with this limitation in mind due to potential underreporting 
in some States and overreporting in others"

That said, even if we could trust the gubmint to have reliable 
statistics, they're still not a fact.  Statistics are a tool. Did you 
miss this part too?


"A statistic is just a number. And numbers are as easily manipulatable,
incomplete, and misleading as words are. But they’re more dangerous than
words, because numbers are associated with math, and math is associated 
with fact."

Don't have to.  You did.

> Because nobody denies the accident rate facts who is a responsible adult.

Except the HHTSA...

> The fact you simply denied that facts can exist is your entire argument.

Nope, my argument is that using statistics as if they are fact is not 
something a scientist should be doing.  They are no such thing.  I've 
pointed out why.

round and round and round and round.
