I do like the writing style in El Reg:
This principle, of making your mistakes in a place that mercilessly demonstrates their consequences without them being consequential, is the gold standard in safety nets. In aviation, those places are called flight simulators. In electronics, circuit simulators. In humans, Ibiza.

Heavens, it's almost like real engineering.
If it was, they'd need to employ real engineers, not imports who bought their degrees and will work for peanuts.
