And let's say that cell phone usage has caused
an equal number of deaths and accidents, so that one has just
replaced the other. Does that mean to you that cell phone related
accidents and deaths are not happening in "any meaningful way"?

That might be one answer to the conundrum, that drunk driving
enforcement and cultural changes *exactly* canceled out the
skyrocketing cellphone ownership figures.

However, for it to have exactly canceled the rates, both the timing
of drunk driving changes and the timing of cellphone changes have
to agree, in addition to the rates of each have to exactly cancel
each other out.

I think, while that is possible, it's highly unlikely; but, that is
yet another possible answer to the enigma that the cellphone-caused
accident rate doesn't seem to exist - all the while we *think* that
it should.

Perhaps some of this information might be helpful.

Nice job at doing the work for the lazy ass CEG. Another sign that
he's a troll. Any reasonable person that was even a fraction as
interested in this topic as he is would have found the actual research
studies before running around squawking Paradox! Paradox! I suggested
it several times, but he's rather just squawk.


Not to mention that it has nothing to do with home repair. : )
