    You’re shifting goal posts.

    What’s the acceptable vehicular homicide rate? GM seems to think it’s more than zero.

    Correct, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Zero is the ideal number, so anything that gets us closer to that is good.

    Acceptable is different than ideal.

        But now you’re misusing “acceptable”.

        We would need to get to the other side of acceptable for widespread use of autos (self driving vehicles). It’s not an unachievable goal you always try to get closer to. That word is your previously used “ideal”. Which its seems now is what you meant with your original comment, instead of the “acceptable” you actually used.

        It’s not just pedantic. I’m not the only one who thought you said something you apparently now didn’t mean, because you used words you apparently don’t understand. The words you use are vital to your being understood.

        You could just humbly admit your original mistake in language, and nobody would give you a hard time.

          I’m misusing “acceptable” because you think I mean something that I didn’t mean? Move along then.

            Yes! Exactly! And based on the vote counts I’m seeing 2/3 people misunderstood you. And when one is trying to explain something to another, if the other doesn’t understand, it can logically only be the fault of the person explaining.

        That’s true. But then you run into the issue of “The perfect being the enemy of the good.”
