No, not at all. If you don't agree, and you can clearly articulate
a logical argument indicating why you don't agree, then you've
raised a good point. I suspect that Avery was merely speaking out
against a lot of people who seem to believe, with apparently no
good reason, that certain cycling facilities elsewhere shown to be
more dangerous than others should be given a preference anyway.

Applying basic engineering principles to the problems of traffic
flow can be done by almost anyone, if they care to sit down and
think about things for a little while. I've noticed that very few
people in this newsgroup do that, however.
