"High Performance" anything tends to mean doesn't last too long and more expensive when it breaks. I'm sure the 19" standard tires are a little better on both counts.
I would imagine that there is always the chance of 'false negatives' (people you call as failures that eventually succeed), but they are probably pretty bang on with identifying positives.
As an investment first that pretty much the only statistic that matters.
That's not contradictory to what the quote says. In fact, "do it now" is pretty much exactly what he's saying when he says most men die with the song still in their heart.
Moot point however, the quote is a missed one. He never said this.
Actually, the advantage of science is that it can predict the future in an accurate fashion.
Ergo: I know x will happen because when all the variables are the same in the past, x has always happened.
The accuracy of the prediction is what changes in science, which is why it is a better system to use for predicting future events than other dogma based systems.
Ergo: Recently discovered factor y can be changed as a variable, and this accounts for x sometimes not happening the same way. We must account for this as a variable too.
You can go get another beer, as would be expected given you had three previously and chose to come to a bar, or you can choose to go home and sleep, or get in your car and drive, or swear off drinking forever.
The fact that options are present to you because of your previous choices (causality) is irrelevant to the fact that you still have full control over what option you select (free will).
Inside cities/towns, the limits are often both strictly enforced and dynamic. That is: they change with traffic conditions and are signaled via electronic signboards.
Germany also has some horrific auto accidents, though the death rate per 100k population/yr. is less than half that of the US, at 4.4 vs. 10.4.
