He got your point, and as I said your numbers add up, but the bottom line is that only 71 out of 165 respondents use that type of helmet. I clearly understand your numbers, but I also understand his...94 out of 165 respondents use either the SA open, the M full, or the M open face helmets. That's all he was trying to say, and that's the one figure you (and others are choosing to ignore). I understand your figures, you however need to understand his.
I'm pretty sure the gist of the conversation was about SA vs MA helmets. Right at 70% use SA and 30% use MA. Phillip didn't say at the beginning of the poll exactly what he was looking to prove. All he said after giving four choices was "Just for the fun of it let's see which is most commonly used." Based on that statement the winner was the full faced SA helmet. Frankly I'm surprised so many racers use the full face helmet. I use a SA open face as I stated above. It would be hypocritical for me to be preaching to you to use a full face helmet! My point and I think the point of Chad also was that an SA helmet was safer. That's all. You two need not get your undies in such a wad over that now should you? Jim
