Jon, You are right. When we get in our cars we have some risk. By the same token, when we are home the risk is still not zero. If we go climbing the risk would go even higher. The point is we know what is the risk and how to protect ourselves. But the risk related to cell phone is not as clear as driving, climbing, and staying home.
