Because, as we know, truthiness overrides anything. It should be obvious that reasoning with little data and flawed

It should be obvious to anyone, without the need to measure or analyze a damned thing, that salting the roads a few times in Seattle each year isn't going to affect a damned thing in Puget Sound.

I'm sorry, but anyone who would suggest such a thing is being obstinate without cause.

This is why people are ridiculing the decision.

If you are so dead set on applying scientific analysis to a situation which, intuitively, one can see it is unnecessary and useless, that's fair enough.

Please provide the evidence that salting the roads in Seattle in the past has, in any way, adversely affected the Sound. That should be simple enough. These idiots in Seattle are risking the property and lives of their residents to protect the Sound from a spec of salt. Where is the evidence this is a good decision that is warranted by science?
