All I am saying is if statement style rules of thumb can be used
without any understanding WHY you should follow the rules. As a child
you don't need to have a traffic model to apply them. Later, once you
understand acceleration, mass, traffic, drunk drivers etc etc. you can
dispense with the rules of thumb and use your own internal modeling
which will sometimes tell you it is safe when the rules of thumb
predict danger and vice versa.
