So you fully agree with the paradox then.

We both agree that distraction is going to *cause* accidents.

The only problem with that assumption is that the accidents don't exist.

Hence, the paradox.

It wouldn't be a paradox if we thought that cellphone use did not cause
accidents; it's only a paradox because we *believe* that cellphone use
while driving causes accidents.

But the accidents just don't exist.
Hence the paradox.
