That is not the way the system works.

^ The system exists and inputs occur and outputs result.  For me ,  
hearing that " the system works" is
tantamount to the analogy that if an integrated circuit consumes  
power, "it works".
My view is that "the system" consumes energy and "the system" is an  
ass.     AGSC ^

There is no guarantee that the ones
still "out there" are save, they could fail at any time, through what is
apparently a diagnosed mechanism. No amount of insurance and warnings is
cheaper if it is your house/work place/car/airplane that gets cought  
in the
conflagration when it fails.
