Just about the rhetoric. "It's not a panacea" is such a lame thing to say about a proposed safety regulation. Nobody said it would fix EVERYTHING you moron. If we only implemented safety laws that were panaceas we wouldn't have any safety laws at all. That's called "making the perfect the enemy of the good." If something saves lives, it is a good thing.* It doesn't cease being a good thing just because it's not a perfect thing.

Inanity bugs me.

*That doesn't mean it should automatically be implemented of course -- there are costs and benefits to be weighed. It's safest not to let anybody ride motorcycles at all (we know exactly how many lives that would have saved last year), but that's absurd. The balance between costs and benefits has to be determined for any proposed action.
