It's like the cig manufacturers trying to sell the idea that cigs aren't that bad for you. It will be impossible to have a rastional conversation with you on this subject as you have ,in your mind, all the data to proof the topic wrong. I leave with this point though, you make no mention of the rear seat occupants, many of which were kids, that lost their lives. That was the entire point of the article. A seat that collapses will never be safer for them than one that does.
It is clear that this is an important matter to you, and that it deeply angers and upsets you. Given what happened, thats totally understandable.

However you have to understand that your own personal experience has made you biased too. And by your own logic of what bias does to people, its going to be impossibly for anyone to have a rational discussion about this subject with you.
