When one expresses a view about how something looks to them, that is the end of that subject. It doesn't matter what the studies show. If it scares the driver it scares the driver. One can legitimately question whether it should scare the driver but not whether in fact it does scare the driver.
Also...automobile drivers have an absolute right to speak about this issue even if they have never driven a motorcycle because they have to share the road with them.
Regardless of attitudes in California, in any state that doesn't permit lane splitting, one shouldn't do it. Car drivers won't be expecting it and that will increase the risk to everyone.
