Ah I see - you didn't see the string of four posts and took it out of context. That was more a closing statement than an opening premise.

I asked 350httr if he wouldn't agree with something quoted from another writer (rydabent). Because, although both were advocating helmet use, 350htr had a more balanced viewpoint than the other writer. I'm asking if he disagreed with what rydabent wrote. He did disagree with it. You disagree with it. I disagree with it.

You're arguing with me, evidently basing it on what you imagined that I probably wrote. I'm on the same side as you, having made the same arguments. Geeze, it must be something about this thread.

Does it help if I put it this way?

So in principle you would not agree with:
