>Software doesn't know when its rules should be broken. Just to provide an example of this I ran into today: I'm doing a medical physics residency, and my supervisor was explaining that a new "fail-safe" incorporated into the software that reverted the collimator after every scan was now making the phototimer tests take twice as long, because we had to go back into the room and reset the collimator repeatedly. We tested a machine with the new system and one with the old system and it did in fact turn a 15-minute task into around 35 minutes.
