   If that presumably logical assumption is true, then we *must* see   
   a correspondingly similar curve in increased accidents following   
   the curve of cellphone adoption.   
      
   If we don't see a simialr curve, and if we can't find a mitigating   
   factor, then we just as surely *must* assume cellphone use is not   
   causing increased accidents.   
      
   Does anyone have figures for accidents trending cell phone adoption?   
      
   If not, what you're really saying is that the same people who   
   have accidents using cellphones would have had accidents anyway.   
      
   I, myself, have never had an accident in my life, although I've   
   had a claim for someone hitting my car when it was parked. And, I   
   use my cellphone all the time. Of course, that's a study of one,   
   and perhaps a statistic waiting to occur, but, in the aggregate,   
   if cellphone use is causing accidents, then we MUST see a curve   
   of increased accidents trending the same line as cellphone use.   
      
   Do we?
