[Villages PL]

We have read many examples of people who supposedly followed all the rules of health but did poorly. Conversely, we have been given many examples of people who didn't follow the rules and yet lived to a ripe old age. So, I think the conclusion was that it doesn't much matter whether you follow any rules or not.

I'm sure we could find many drivers who break all the rules of safe driving yet don't get into accidents. Conversely, I'm sure we could find many who do follow all the rules and yet they get into accidents. That being the case, what should our attitude be toward driving? That following safe driving rules is a waste of time?

P.S. It's not my purpose to change the subject to driving but to demonstrate faulty reasoning on the part of those who seem to suggest that good rules don't matter.
