That is true, but the XKCD cartoon is pointing out that there is a fundamental difference here.
In aerospace or elevators, the experts say that what we have is really quite safe, although a determined adversary could potentially cause harm.
In voting machines, the experts say that what we have is fundamentally UNSAFE, and that a half-hearted effort from a bright college student could bring it to its knees.
That difference should DEEPLY concern the people who run elections.
