People like to make the perfect the enemy of the good. Why this tendency comes out so prominently during disagreements is not clear to me, but it's a general human failing as far as I can tell.
And yet, you chose to cite the broadest generalization of all, representing information from all motorcycle accidents and fatalities!
My comment was addressing high speed accidents and I specifically stated that the difference in fatalities comes into play in accidents at lower speed.
By the way, quoting CDC hardly qualifies for research; and lately, they have not even been reliably credible. But then everyone has their likes and dislikes, and that’s what makes life interesting. 😉
