But there's a difference between saying "you know what's true about every fatal car accident where everyone was wearing a seatbelt? Everyone was wearing a seatbelt!" I could then continue, "this means that seatbelts aren't 100% safety devices. Yes, they save lives, but it's still important to drive safely _and_ we're still on the lookout for better safety devices."
However, Rich Hickey's talk was the equivalent of "you know what's true about every fatal car accident where everyone was wearing a seatbelt? Everyone was wearing a seatbelt! [Laughs] Thus seatbelts suck."
