Look I've familiarized myself with knives plenty and I have also still cut myself on occasion. I'm not sure I understand the analogy really.
It's not unusual for a new OR experienced user to have a moment with new or even new to them equipment. That's kind of the reason reporting something like this is useful and etc.
I think it's not really possible to know all the design flaws of new equipment by osmosis, and certainly the analogy sort of leads me to the conclusion that if someone is inadvertently driving a car with a brake issue that isn't even a RECALL yet would be like saying that driver sucked, because he knows how to drive a car.
Forgive me for introducing yet another analogy into the mix, but it sort of seems like, well yeah, when using a mech exercise due caution and everything, but if a mech has a design flaw that is not yet well known or well publicized, they suck as a mech user for not magically knowing about its "fatal flaw" which like, WHAT?
Tons of consumer recalls only come about AFTER someone has gotten injured, or kids with Chinese stuff stuffed into their mouth get elevated lead levels or whatnot.
I am cautious, but I don't have built in sensors like 7 of 9, going "Lead ration too high for safe baby use!" And, "I can hear the whatever that species was approaching and etc.'
I'd probably be horrified if I did. But, it's also kind of like reading Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything," by the end I wasn't scared, it actually caused me months of marvel where I wandered around going, "Why am I not dead yet? Why is this planet NOT a wasteland?" Etc.
Of course, that's Bill Bryson, he can write a book of 1500 pages of potential Armageddon scenarios about the world, and it comes out charming.
You guys should read it.
