When my friends and I discuss such things I like to emphasize that even if you as a pedestrian or cyclist have the right of way but you're hit and killed your objection is invalid since you're dead.

Every time I get to an intersection I can hear my Grandma's voice telling me, "You can be right, dead right"
My family version is "The cemetery is full of people that were right"
I can't tell if you agree or disagree with my statement. I, of course, agree with your statement, and it definitely follows from what I said. Legal right of way means nothing.
I 100% agree with you, I just added my own interpretation how I explain it.
