That's a fair question. But you're sorta leading the question with how you frame it. Nobody thinks safty should be sacrificed. I think the disagreement is about whether it is being sacrificed and why. Let's just stay away from a drift toward name calling like "moron." It makes static in a discussion. That's all.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
