Perhaps you should consider prefacing your opinions with the acronym IMO when you make pronouncements about the right or wrong thoughts or actions of other cyclists. Someone might mistakenly get the idea that your pronouncements about cycling safety have any more credibility or validity than any other anonymous poster's opinion or guess on the subject.
The initial qualification and the use of parentheses should have provided a clue that my statement was an opinion. But if you feel the need to qualify everything I say in this manner...have at it.

Anecdotally, I have witnessed doorings but have never seen a cyclist hit while being overtaken. Do you have some anecdotes to share to counter mine? Or is it simply a matter of faith for you that taking the lane is so dangerous. I also have to point out that on acidfast7's video thread I cited a summary of 3 studies, all of which indicated that being hit from behind (e.g. overtaken) was low risk, and your response was completely disingenuous.
