I neither think nor implied that
My point was this: given what I've read of bicycle helmet testing standards, it's hard to either over- or- underestimate the protection a helmet is "designed" to provide. I keep seeing statements in this thread implying that a helmet is only "designed" to do X, and anyone suggesting it can do Y must be mistaken. Yet I'm not seeing evidence to support those claims or insinuations.
