Hinderaker, On U.K. Hybrids’ Purported Dangerousness? What Rubbish!

Tonight (largely out of anything to say) Hinderaker claims U.K. hybrid vehicles are more deadly, in accidents — than their straight gas engine counterparts.

His error is called… the fallacy of small numbers.

Through late 2024, hybrids made up only about 5% of all vehicles on U.K. roads.

Extrapolating a trend against the data from the other 95% is a fools’ errand.

In sum: right up John’s small brain pan alley.

Earlier today, he claim the would be frauds in Minnesota are the most important US story in politics.

He said that solely to distract people from reading about MTG’s scorchingly opportunistic take-down of Trump and Trumpism (in the NYT)… the drip drip drip of Epstein, or the insane attacks on boats out of Venezuela — or bombings in Nigeria.

All of these — or Trump’s failure to solve Ukraine (something he said he’d get done in his first week!) or the West Bank (something he repeatedly claims credit for having solved, but somehow the fighting continues)… are each more important stories — and GOP failures.

And John well knows it.

Out.
