This is code for mangling the data through rosetinted glasses until it
suits Krygowski's purposes -- and then he still lies about it, as he
lied about the South Australian and Crocker studies.

Krygowski has already been given the opportunity to present some
confounding factors to consider. He incompetently presented only two,
drunks without helmets and scofflaws without helmets. They were
supposed to confound this observation from the NY compilation:
• only 3% of fatalities wore a helmet whereas 13% of the non-fatally
(but seriously) injured wore a helmet
How can statistics about drunks *without* helmets and scofflaws
*without* helmets confound cyclists who survived *because they wore
helmets*?
Riddle me that.
So Krygowski knows there are no confounding factors. I have told him
so most pointedly and repeatedly. IN SHORT, ONCE MORE KRYGOWSKI LIES
THROUGH TEETH, KNOWING THAT HE LIES.
Krygowski is of course welcome to think up more confounding factors,
and I'll consider them too.
That's code for: And once more I'll make Krygowski look like the fool
he is.

Maybe he can get some stimulus booty to produce a play about it:
