No. I'm not. I'm being realistic about the technology. You're artificially limiting the scope.

This is goalpost moving 101. The question isn't would a human driver also struggle but _would it be better_? You have zero data.

It is not moving the goalpost to say "so would a human". Comparison to human drivers is exactly the stated goalpost (and it should be).

Outrageously uninformed take. We have mountains of data that show Waymos in aggregate are safer drivers than humans.
