   Astoundingly huge.   
      
   Because if cellphones are as dangerous as driving drunk would be,   
   then having almost every driver on the road, essentially, driving   
   drunk, would cause an immense catastrophically huge amount of   
   accidents that the accident statistics would overwhelmingly show   
   the effect.   
      
   That there is zero effect is the most telling thing of all.   
      
   I realize you want to wish away this stupendously meteoric rise   
   in cellphone use as something that is somehow (magically?) hidden   
   in the noise level of the overall accident-rate statistics.   
      
   That you continue to propose such a preposterous theory shows   
   that you are manufacturing obstacles to what is, in essence,   
   a simple argument.   
      
   You don't understand Occams Razer in the least, as the only   
   rebuttal you can foster to the clear argument that there are   
   no increase in accident rates that *anyone* can find, is that   
   you say the stupendously huge increase predicted by the   
   "drunk driving" model is somehow, hidden in the details.   
      
   That's possible; but patently preposterous.   
      
   That you keep *repeating* that preposterous claim is why I will   
   stop responding to your claims. Both you are Jolly Roger are   
   welcome to the last word, as you'll have it anyway.   
      
   But, my last word is that the way you try to explain away   
   the lack of any increase in accidents is possible (I will   
   grant you that), but patently so preposterous as to be   
   totally unbelievable (especially as you give no reasons for   
   the data to be hidden - you just say it 'could' be).
