The masses are not ignorant about this because you don't the need science (that others on this group can provide far better than me) to figure it out. Anyone who has ever seen an athlete running down the track and planting his CF pole for the purpose of hurtling over a bar more than 17' above the ground knows that this material can be constructed to serve as a bike frame.
Surely it must be intuitive that getting a flat at an inopportune time must present a far greater risk than a CF frame going post toastie under a rider, and that if you fall under the wheels of a bus or go over the side of a mountain, it doesn't matter what kind of frame your bike has.
If you follow an alarmists' logic to to its final conclusion, you should be wearing a steel Bell to protect your head.
