If you never get your brakes inspected, and one day you crash in to
someone and kill them because your brakes fail. Is it your fault for
not ever getting your brakes checked? Or should the blame lie with the
brakes that wore themselves down and never fixed themselves on their
own?
When you drive a car you have maintenance responsibilities. Somehow
with computers people don't come to the same conclusion.
