  Your comment asserted that that was the only justification I gave. Even if that were true, it would still make you the kind of asshole who makes fun of elderly women with incontinence problems—in fact, who advocates omitting basic safety features from engineering designs because you think it's hilarious when elderly women with incontinence problems wet their pants. Or, interpreting your comment with more charity than the annual UNICEF budget, you think it would be hilarious if elderly women with incontinence problems had to pull down their pants and pee on the passenger seat. But it's not true, which makes you a liar as well. Comments like that one undermine my faith in the capacity of humanity for goodness. You managed to combine dishonesty, unprovoked rhetorical aggression, engineering irresponsibility, and fantasies of a breathtaking degree of sadism into a few short lines. It's honestly one of the most contemptible comments I've ever seen on HN.
