Small Pickups Do Poorly in Tests

.....

Once again the philosophy to live by is believe 10% and doubt that.

Not that I believe the author of the article is making it up, it's my
belief that the tests are totally arbitrary and have little or no basis
in reality. Just look at how they are set up and think a little bit on
how often that actually happens --- probably closing in on 0%
probability.

Not too many people go running into solid immovable objects at 40 MPH
that don't deflect or deform unless they are contemplating suicide.
