You wrote:- �What you MEANT top claim was that the DIFFERENCE with the bullet, is that you have abandonned ALL control after pulling the trigger. In a car, you still retain SOME control!�
As you clearly understood this then the first half of your response is repetitive and diversionary. It again says that at the point of an accident, or ' at impact' or 'the point you lose control' as I said it, the analogy is sound.
You then say:- Incredibly, in a car, the faster you go, the LESS you are 'in control'!
As a general principal I would agree with this. But then, clinging to your belief in your analogy, you try to disprove it.
You write a specific hypothetical story and conclude with:-
If you can work though 'logic', you'll see it's SAFER for GFM to fire his pistol down a crowded street (so long as he's pointing at empty space, hoizontally) than it is to DRIVE down that same street at 70mph! Even SUICIDAL people can't jump into the line of fire of the bullet if the street is clear within the TIME; whereas, with a CAR at 70mph in a crowned street, you could manage to PUSH a BUS into the centre of the road from a side street before the car can stop!
If this is true then the faster you drive the car, and closer you get to the speed of the bullet, the safer it would be. This of course sounds strange, mainly because a car and bullet have totally different speed potential. So this is just another, smaller, reason that shows your analogy to be unsound.
The fact still remains that if you drive the car down the street and only notice the bus when it starts to move then you may still have the opportunity to brake, swerve, or accelerate to try and avoid it. If GFM man made the same error of judgement and someone or thing entered the line of fire he has no opportunity to change what happens.
So regardless of the new anomaly of the huge speed differential, the main point of having some control over the car when moving, still makes your analogy unsound.
You also write things such as:-
Like many others, you KEEP making the mistake that you ARE in 'full control' and You are NOT in control of your car once your speed rises in the manner you PRETEND to believe!
These are things you would complain about if others wrote them. You have no evidence to support such claims. I don't make the mistake that I am in full control and never have. I don't pretend to believe. I may believe I have more control than I actually have, or believe I have less control than I actually have, but you can't know which. It is unlikely that I can be very sure.
