   BTW, it's the _same_ wrong intuition on the warped rotors, or the intuition   
   that if you pay more for an iPhone it _must_ be more powerful, etc.   
      
   Intuition is a terrible thing.   
      
   In the case of cellphone accidents, intuition is a terrible thing, since   
   the good data on accident rates shows _zero_ effect of cellphone ownership.

   And those morons hoping to poke holes in my argument need to read my words   
   as rates are what I'm talking about, and not injuries (which are a   
   second-order effect), and I'm not talking use because there is no reliable   
   data on use so all we have that's reliable data is ownership percentages.
