Well, when you say

> You won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from your grave

that's equally projecting something onto me, so... that's not a great way to have a productive discussion neither.

Do you think I'm accusing you of having been hit by a car? I'm not. It was an analogy.
Well, it was ambiguous to say the least, with all those "you"'s in it. If it was meant as an analogy, maybe you should have written it like this:

> This is also silly. That's like people who walk into speeding traffic because they have the right-of-way. They won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from their grave.

You really thought that I was accusing you of being hit by a car? Mind blown. Point noted, I'll try to be more careful next time.
