I totally agree, but, however rare, incidents and accidents due to aircraft takeoff misconfiguration continue to occur. A quick search of the internet reveals several crashes that have occurred over the years due to misconfiguration of wing flaps, slats, trim etc. Here is a link to a report of Bombardier CRJ rejected takeoff/overrun that occurred in January of 2010:

Here's a link to an FAA "Safety Alert For Operators" (SAFO) dated November 25, 2014:

Thank you for the link to the Systems Summary for the Dassault 900EX. As designed, it seems to be a foolproof system; however, there doesn't seem to be any safeguard or interlock system that cannot be ignored, disabled or "worked around" by human beings.

Cheers,
