   Your inability to grasp the difference between correlation and causation   
   proves otherwise. And the fact that you actually feel you need to tell   
   me you are smarter than most people says it all.

   You insult those who disagree with you over and over in these news   
   groups, typically claiming they are less intelligent than you, despite   
   the opposite being apparent. You still are unable to grasp the basic   
   concept of correlation versus causation, yet you claim others here are   
   less intelligent.

   You're projecting again. It is *you* who has only one way of looking at   
   things, and cherry picking data that suits your narrative while ignoring   
   all else.

   You are STILL unable to grasp the difference between correlation and   
   causation. That's dumb.

   Irrelevant, for reasons that have already been explained repeatedly.

   What he posted shows that the total accident rate is determined by   
   *many* factors that are unrelated to and may outweigh cell phone use.   
   You just refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't fit your narrative.   
   And you insult anyone who disagrees with your faulty logic. That's not a   
   sign of intelligence.
