A Parable on Standard Setting It came to pass one day in a small town that a careless driver came down the main street at a speed 100 miles per hour, lost control of his car, and killed a small child who was playing in the front yard of her home. The citizens of the town were distressed by this tragedy and demanded that something be done to prevent a recurrence of such accidents in the future.In response to the resulting pressures, the town council voted to reduce the town’s speed limit from 25 to 20 miles per hour. |
