It's funny what some people read into things.
Laying out a realistic picture as to how often cyclists are treated for head injuries and relating the limitations on the upper limits for helmets from manafactures is viewed differently by different people.
I'd say I'm trying to clarify a situation rather than muddy it with poor information.
