I'll be very surprised if Konkvistador posted this to talk about the speed limits.

Mitchell was mocking the position that human lives and dollars can be interchanged. I believe in that position, but the actual suggestion made- the cost/benefit analysis- can be done without holding that position, and I figured it was better to describe that at length rather than just say Mitchell was strawmanning.
