I second your hypothesis. The data definitely needs to be normalized by the population distribution of Toyota cars under question. First, I wouldn't call 55 year-olds as "old people" who are so senile as to mistake pedals. Second, assuming her data is accurate (a risky assumption judging from the informal tone of the post and total lack of rigor), what if the age-unknown group is included with, say, the 30 year-old group (could be, since the ages are unknown), the conclusion then seems so much weaker. I have noticed that many bloggers and journalists have come to Toyota's aid recently. As another conspiracy theory, could this be somewhat fueled by Toyota's PR?
