the problem here though is that even though you can go calculate societal costs on the healthcare system due to pedestrian accidents or the value of a human life it's pretty difficult to do an all-in analysis on how much time is now burned by delaying everybody that 1 minute.
So it's not really apples to apples, or should I say one is not able to do an apples to apples cost benefit analysis. GGG's analysis of the 1 min scenario doesn't take into account anywhere close to the true cost in terms of impacts to businesses or quality of life.
