Now if you answer yes or no to each of these questions, there are 4 possible combination and I have seen people here arguing for 3 of those possible combinations:
1)yes 2)yes
1)yes 2)no
1)no 2)no
Yea, close, but from my point of view this whole "discussion" is more like;
1) Are you generally better off wearing a helmet when you hit your head in a bike accident?
2) Are you generally worse off wearing a helmet when you hit your head in a bike accident?
3) Is it necessary (should be mandated) to wear a helmet while biking?
4) Is it a good idea to wear a helmet while biking?
5) Is it a bad idea to wear a helmet while biking?
I vote for 1 & 4
EDIT; OK, sudo bike, I think I was using the wrong word, (commonsense) instead of (logic), that's what happens when English isn't ones mother tongue...
