We are surrounded by devices that will break or do us harm if used unsafely. Articles like this one seem to point out the obvious "why not just make it impossible to be unsafe?" Yet this is not the case (or even a stated goal) in any other type of system. Why is it that once computers are involved people expect to abdicate responsibility? Since you didn't like my analogy there are plenty of others. Would you put any random tire on your car and expect it to transport you safely? If I put diesel instead of gas in my car is it the station's fault because the connectors are the same?
