<VV> Autoweek article wording

[Brent Fullard]

Funny that Ralph Nader, as a lawyer, didn't seem to realize that product 
liability must be viewed in the context of the technology available to the 
manufacturer at the time, rather than viewed in total isolation. I guess that's 
why Ralph Nader decided to view the matter in isolation, as it made for a better 
argument to the general public, albeit a weaker argument in the context of the 
laws governing product liability. 


I guess one can conclude that Ralph Nader was neither an engineer, nor a very 
good lawyer. The Corvair was exonerated. Ralph Nader was not.
