I feel sorry for those individuals who cannot or will not grasp even the basic tenets of physics, statistics, probability and science. But yikes...100,000 boats on the lake. I'm glad it will continue to be illegal for them to exceed 45 MPH!

Just because people disagree with the speed limit doesn’t mean they don’t understand the concepts you listed. “Science” is a pretty broad subject to accuse others of not understanding.
I suspect people who disagree also don’t want, need, or seek any pity from the people with whom they disagree. The attempt to veil the insult with the feigned emotional reaction doesn’t make the insult laudable or even justifiable.
