Who else guessed that an article that tries to take a fact based approach to the rediculous bicycle/car war would be overrun by comment trolls that ignore the reality and re-spew the myths? I think the real problem is our society is still full of magical thinkers. You can't convince them with facts and arguments because they literally don't know how to think logically. They see what they see and that's that. They know how to act like they're being logical like structuring their sentences in logical-sounding "if X and Y then Z" syllogisms but under the hood there's no reasoning going on. It's logical fallacies all the way down. Maybe it's not as bas as I fear and I'm just feeling depressed. But after listening to that interview with RTH and Scott Thompson and reading these comments above ^^ I wonder how much hope there is for us as a society to overcome our prejudices.
