   Just to be clear, I said "I don't know" in the same sentence that   
   I said that the issue is in the numbers, and I took a swag at   
   the numbers.   
      
   I prefer to look at "accidents" and "deaths/injuries" (which   
   aren't necessarily correlated, so, I think "accidents" is more   
   likely the metric we need to look at).   
      
   If cell phone use is inherently dangerous, and if we all agree   
   that cell phone use didn't exist before a certain time period,   
   and if nothing else of major import changed too greatly, then   
   we should, I would think, see a correspondingly huge increase   
   in the number of accidents that correlates with increased   
   cell phone use.   
      
   Do we see more ACCIDENTS in the statistics after cell phones   
   became ubiquitous? If not, we can't assume cellphones are   
   adding to the danger, no matter how they're used in the car.
