You don't have to see the full logic of it! There's data collected and analyzed by people who have studied the problem!
- ARandomerDude 5y agoYou're advocating a form of feudalism, only the key differentiator is "expertise" rather than land ownership or the ability to field an army. Any time somebody says something like "Trust us, plebs. We're the experts." I know I should, in fact, not trust that person.
- dkural 5y agoI can't tell if this is meant in jest or seriously, please could you point to a source for your claim that there is data analyzed by people who've studied the problem? (Genuinely asking - I'd love to visualize the data).
- aqme28 5y agoAnd now I can't tell if you're joking. It's linked very prominently in the article. Here you go. https://www.bicyclecolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Safety-Stop-Fact-Sheet.pdf?emci=0f76fa39-2cbb-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&ceid= https://www.bicyclecolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/S...

- macinjosh 5y agoIMO, this is the most dangerous mindset of the 21st century, so far.
- paulcole 5y agoAgreed. Much more dangerous than ignoring established subject matter experts in favor of relying on one’s finely tuned intuition developed through years of computer programming.
