True. Jet fuel is, I believe, basically kerosene, which, if measured on an octane scale, would have a VERY VERY HIGH resistance to knocking as compared to gasoline. :)
But the point is that "common sense" doesn't work, yet, those proposing that common sense says cell phones cause accidents are just as likely here to be proposing that "common sense" dictates that the common cold is caused by cold or rainy weather itself.
People see tons of commercials of kids sniffling in yellow raincoats while it's raining outside, and parents being told that cold weather causes the common cold - so they rush out - using their plethora of "common sense" - so they rush out and buy "cold medicines".
Common sense tell them that the common cold is *caused* by cold weather when, in fact, the common cold has nothing per se to do with cold weather.
Same thing here with the common sense attitude that cell phones cause accidents.
