The part that saw that you didn't stop there, you went on to cite

Including totally stupid ones that claim that *all noise* from loud
pipes goes rearward, not forward. You think that because someone posts
something on a website, that it;s automatically meaningful, even when
it contains total discrediting stupidity like the above.

I apologize if I backed up what I said with too many references.

If you can find a reference that proves that "loud pipes save lives", then
I will read it as a courtesy to you.

Since I couldn't find such a reference, I had to make do with the dozen
references that I found which stated otherwise.
