So you only want "competing" views if they line up with your views?

The study was about driving, something many/most of us do on a regular basis. It shows that:

1. Sleep deprivation while driving is comparable to being intoxicated while driving.

2. Those who are sleep deprived are not reliably able to recognize their impairment.

If you think it's "obtuse" to bring this up, then I don't know what you're trying to do here. Those are extremely important pieces of information to bring up.
