    I hope that this isn't some stupid tree-hugger attitude but I think that
they are trying to protect themselves from the case where some kind of  
system software failure causes an accident and they end up getting hit by
upteen lawsuits. In my opinion the money for this busy work for the lawyers
could be better spent on hiring people to mop Dave Haynie's brow while he's
working on the 3000.
