You're correct about what the evidence actually shows. But unfortunately quite a few people misinterpret it and end up saying that no one should wear a helmet at all, even voluntarily.

See for example this stupid article, which was originally titled "The Case for Ditching Your Helmet." I came across it because a friend posted it to Facebook as "proof" that wearing a helmet never made anyone safer.
