Default The cellphone paradox - where are all the accidents?

It's not a "paradox." And why do you say that accidents caused by cell
phone use can't be found? The are plenty in the news.
Besides, unsurprisingly, they are under reported.

You're a smart guy.

Think about what you just said.

Then, compare what you said to the reliable accident-rate figures in the
USA, compiled for decades.

What you just said was that you agree that somehow, magically, all the
accidents that are caused by cellphone use aren't reported in the total
statistics, all teh while being reporting in your specific statistics.

In fact, you state, they're underreported, in the individual statistics,
all the while being wholly absent in the total statistics.

So, what you said, just reaffirms the paradox.
You just don't realize it yet.

REQUEST: Someone please explain the paradox to Vic Smith, whom I know to
be a good thinker, as he just reaffirmed the paradox without even knowing
that he did so.
