   I have read *many* papers that try to prove that cellphones are dangerous.   
      
   Let's say we believe every single one of those papers.   
      
   Yup. Spiders are dangerous.   
        Snakes are dangerous.   
        Mountain lions are dangerous.   
        Falling space debris is dangerous.   
   And ...   
        Cellphone use while driving is dangerous.   
   .   
   You don't realize that none of that matters.   
      
   More correctly stated ...   
      
   None of that matters unless a *significant* number of people are actually   
   having accidents while using cellphones, which is clearly not the case.   
      
   That's the elephant in the room that you can't wish away with all the   
   studies that cellphones are dangerous. In fact, the *more* dangerous   
   those studies show cellphones to be, the *bigger* the elephant in   
   the room becomes.
