Tourist, you completely and utterly missed the point. I suggest you start thinking like a normal person instead of 01011010110 HAL. What sort of collection of cells programmed the airbus stall warning to silence below 60 knots? A
human. Was that a silly idea? Yes. Machines
are only as good as the human programmer. Sometimes I marvel at the programming that went into my aeroplane, it does it so well. At other times, I say "what sort of idiot programmed it do that?".
