Comment (by cypherpunks):

 If someone programs their computer to do something, all being well, it
 tends to function correctly, and go ahead and do what was asked. Pressing
 Ctrl-D there will not be the first such mistake you made, or the last. The
 solution is to stop instructing your computer to do that.

 If there is a sufficiently large object and you pick it up and bash
 yourself over the head with it, you will probably cause injury. Despite
 that you might insist otherwise, and despite that you might use particular
 terms to say so, that doesn't mean every object should be covered in foam
 or made illegal.

 A padded cell and straitjacket may be exactly what you desire, but not
 everyone thinks that way. It isn't fair to impose that on everyone.
