Your post looks like this part is a wayward mispaste of something unrelated: "The contribution [...] independent advice"
For what remains: First off, i have not realized any sort of slippery slope i am on. I may not have done the best job in explaining my arguments, but i believe them to be sound. I remarked only on your construction of one.
As for your brother, sorry to hear that. It sounds like the car he was driving should not have been on the streets. In germany we have an institution vested with the power to inspect and verify the safety of a vehicle, and any individual vehicle which does not have an unexpired verification mark from them is illegal to drive in public traffic.
I don't know if you have such a thing in the USA or not, or whether whatever is doing that job is just much too lenient.
