My point was: It really depends on how you give them the rope. Is it a selection of ropes next to a cliff and 95% of the ropes will kill you without warning if you use it to go down it? Or it could be rope that prevents you from accidentally walking down the cliff, if you don't know it was there. Having a table saw that doesn't stop when it cuts wet material can be beneficial, but it is better to have one that stops when it hits your finger and where you can specifically deactivate the stopping-mechanism for the usecase of cutting slightly wet materials.
