> consider "attack" as broadly defined

Still doesn’t work.

There are over 3x more motor vehicles in America than dogs [1][2]. There are more households with cars than dogs. Our interaction frequency with vehicles is much greater. The threshold for damage, given a vehicle’s power, is much less. For any measure of “attack,” the frequency and damage from cars will always exceed that from dogs.

It’s a stupid aside that doesn’t make any actual arguments about why taking cell phones from kids is bad.
