That's typical of you, mike. An article is posted showing the effect the congestion charges have had. The article links to half a dozen other articles, studies, and trend maps showing the same.

But they must all be false because you said so. The congestion charge is overstated, folks, take it to the bank, because mike said so.

Even when the "conventional wisdom" is good news, you still feel compelled to disagree. Tell me, is there any conventional wisdom you agree with? Or is the minority opinion always the correct one, no matter the subject?
