Not that your response has anything to do with my reply, but to clarify:
I believe that a new rider who takes a safety class will ride safer than a new rider who merely purchases and uses a helmet. But don't let that stop you from attributing to me things I never said. Seems to be something you are skilled at and like doing.

As is typical, it doesn't really address the point I was making, which is: despite your comment otherwise, this is a benefit over which people argue here.
