Maybe so, and if true, I get it.
For my part, I prefer to consider the massage more than the messenger.
I got the original article on a news feed earlier, and considered posting, but was undecided whether it was worth the effort.
That said, many here don't get news feeds, so I don't see the effort to share news as problematic. One is always free to ignore it.
BTW - This survey mirrors one I pretty vaguely remember front the USA a while back that purportedly showed that helmeted riders got closer passes. No value judgement on that either, but the similarity makes both more interesting.
Of course, even if there's truth here, we're still faced with whether the pan is less unsafe than the fire.
