This is not quite the same.
Experts did make mistakes for the challenger explosion, but they did much better than the average person. Put 1000 people at complete random into a room and say design and build a rocket, I suspect they won't even get to the build phase after several years.
When it comes to something everyone should be able to do, an expert making a mistake is a bad omen for the rest of us.
- psychphysic 4y agoNah we just need to give up the fantasy that you can be sure a computer isn't compromised. Hardware all the way. I have my pgp key on a yubikey, my crypto on a ledger. My passwords on a mooltipass. There are few mistakes I could make leading to this kind of compromise. Perhaps none!
