>>Safety-related damages: these are important, and not what happened here. Please define safety. People lost their jobs due to this irresponsible prank. Peopl

  'Safety' being the kind of worry you were trying to project when you mentioned cars and robots going berserk.

    That's your notion of safety. For me (and I am sure for many others too) it means a product that is critical to my my workflow and the one on which my financial, health and other such critical aspects of life depend, if such a product (here Gmail) goes berserk due to some foolish prank played by the company then the company (here Google) is irresponsible and unreliable. Cars and robots present only some kinds of safety problems, not all.

      If you weren't making any distinction then I don't understand why you brought up cars/robots going berserk in the first place. (Or do you make a distinction, but you would call it something different? Then just say that, and I'll use the term you want. My contention has nothing to do with word choice. Nobody wins an argument about word choice.)

        >>If you weren't making any distinction then I don't understand why you brought up cars/robots going berserk in the first place. I brought up the issue mainly for these reasons: a) safety issues in cars/robots are more obvious; b) if google can do this (such harmful pranks) with email, then they can do such (harmful) pranks with their other products too, including cars/robots. I wanted to bring out these issues on the discussion.
