Is it possible to get whiplash from changing avatars toofast

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

But did they know they had bad brakes in case a pesky pedestrian or superslow left turner got in their way?
