I'm all for mindful driving, but why would I need to pay $15 to learn how?

I would certainly hope everyone was awake at the wheel :tongue:
could not resist sorry.

I hope there are not too many people about driving on autopilot, and are actually paying attention to what they are doing though.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
