   You guys *always* say that as if that's an excuse for your total   
   lack of data whatsoever supporting your arguments.   
      
   My argument is replete with data supporting the overall accident rate   
   numbers.   
      
   Yours has zero data supporting the overall accident rate numbers.   
      
   So, you say "correlation does not imply causation", which, you think,   
   in your mind, refutes your absolute and utter lack of any overall   
   accident rate data.   
      
   I understand that the overall accident rate is good data but that it   
   is comprised of many elements, one of which is cellphone usage.   
      
   However, *you* don't seem to understand that the numbers are astoundingly   
   huge for both accidents and for cellphone ownership.   
      
   That you can't even find a blip that supports your argument is   
   why you fall back to saying that the data is bad.   
      
   The data is the most reliable data on accident rates in the world.   
   You just don't like what it says.
