You didn’t miss much. It’s basically just been people insisting over and over again that their intuition is better than reason, and being totally unable to acknowledge and assimilate any information, facts, or suggestions to the contrary.

It basically boils down for them, as I understand it, to the core belief that the standard signals expected and required to be known by all motor vehicle operators and road traffic (e.g. bicycles and horses) actually is not known to anyone except an elite cabal of cyclists, and in the face of such gross ignorance, the best course of action is to abandon the reasoned processes which bind American vehicular society and instead rely on our primal instincts, pointing like “me Tarzan, you Jane.”
