Thinking back to case-studies around the Therac-25 [0], I would like to pre-emptively highlight the differences between:

1. Technique X is unsafe.

2. Technique X is unsafe because too much can go wrong even with the best intentions.

3. Technique X is unsafe without strong QA and interlocking safety measures, and there's too much economic pressure for the manufacturer to cut corners.
