I doubt it. I have been using the Internet since 1979 and the WWW since 1993, and teaching computer scientists how to use both since 1995. I am rarely confused by my own browser.

Suppose a legislator were to consider your point of view: professional pilots should be exempt from prosecution for negligence because professional pilots are never negligent. The obvious riposte is: if they are never negligent, then why make an exception, since it will never apply? And if, by some chance, a professional pilot is indeed negligent and kills people as a consequence, then why exactly should heshe be exempt from the sanctions that apply to the rest of hisher fellow human beings?

I don't see that either of these questions are answered by what you wrote.
