You are asking for absolutes. Humans are not perfect. Some military
hardware is custom designed for other extreme situations so that some
standard features must be forgotten ... as posted earlier about custom
hardware and about robot arms. Stop asking for absolutes. They only
exist in a Rush Limbaugh world or where the executives are MBA school
graduates. Trends exists. You are demanding an executive summary
when many previous posts are the shortest answer possible.

Where software can damage hardware, in retail computer products, then
that is a major design failure. Remove any one word or take anything
out of context and the entire sentence is invalid. Your above
'executive summary' demonstrates how people get killed by management
who do not come from where the work gets done - and therefore needs
answers that ignore a long and necessary list of technical details.
They have little grasp of 'context' but somehow know they are
experts.

That 'executive summary' suggests maybe half of what was posted was
completely ignored - as is so common among executives who don't come
from where the work gets done. Learn why disasters (ie Columbia)
happen. The boss did as your above summary now does. That above
sentence therefore contains little of what was posted earlier - but is
exactly what the MBA school boss would do because he does not have dirt
under his fingernails. That above quoted paragraph has little in
common with what was posted.
