- 1. Dictionary definitions are for people who can't handle reality (or
- was that drugs...)
-
- 2. You (and Mike) are splitting hairs. Whether the vision is
- peripheral or just "over there" (moving your eyes) is not the point.
- The point is that wearing a helmet compromises your vision. To dispute
- the fact is an exercise in futility. Put on a hemet and see (get it?)
- for yourself.
-
- Personally, I think the trade off between reduced vision and protection
- is, on balance, a positive one, but that's my choice, not my
- legislature's.
