As somebody mentioned earlier, this is just like the seat belt argument in terms of "rational" thought. Like the CEO of a helmet company once said "It's obvious that it's better to have something between your head and the ground when you hit. That's not even worth arguing about."
But it is , for all the reasons stated above. If it is so obvious than why are the whole population studies so radically different for bicycle and motorcycle helmets. Why is the data so solid for motorcycle helmets and so lacking in bicycle helmets. Perhaps what is "so obvious" is not in fact , obvious at all. I wear a motorcycle helmet....always. I wear a seat belt always. The bicycle helmet is an accessory foisted upon us by fears not grounded in reality or fact .
