but if you ran a study on deatha by vehicle type there would be less for motorcycle because there are just way less on the road to start with,

And more people die on the toilet than playing Russian roulette, doesn't mean taking a shit is more dangerous.

That's why you can't just look at total deaths.

I'm sorry I couldn't find a way to explain this that you could understand

Lol, no I understand it, I just hate bad science when their goal is publishing, not helping. It reminds me of the Autism study, their test was asking people who came into a corner srore if they wanted the drink(cup) they bought to be upsized for same price. Their assumptive split was a regular "normal" person would upsize for better value, those that said no had autism--because they were attached to cup size or didn't underatand dollar per oz value system. Just junk science, since people way have a small cupholder in the car or not want so much drink...but they get notoriety and granta for publishing even if it is useless
