What's more delusional? An extremely high-dimensional analysis of a ground truth source that I can trust to be unbiased, if rather noisy? Or an ideologically driven shitfight between two camps hell-bent on lying with statistics? I'll leave NHTSA to sort out the latter, and that fight is definitely the one we want to drive legislation, but in the mean time the former is all I have.

What I don't do is assume an outcome and then go find supporting evidence to validate it. It's really easy to lie to yourself that way, and I've been trying to do it less.
