   Do you know how many people think high-octane gas is somehow   
   (magically?) better for their engine than lower-octane gas?   
      
   There are a *lot* of things which seem like "common sense",   
   which, when put to the simplest of tests, fail.   
      
   How many people, for example, think that centrifugal force   
   is a "real" force, from a frame of non-accelerating frame of   
   reference?   
      
   Centrifugal force is not a real force.   
   Just like gravity isn't a real force.   
      
   But common sense "feels" what is termed "centrifugal force" and   
   feels what is termed "the force of gravity".   
      
   Even though both don't even exist as real forces, "common sense"   
   tells people that these so-called "forces" exist.   
      
   It's only when you test these common-sense adages, that you find   
   that they fail miserably.   
      
   One must *test* common sense, and when it fails, as it does in   
   this cellphone case, it flies in the face of what many people   
   believe.   
      
   That's why the simple test of accident rates is the elephant in   
   the room.
