EVERYTHING is built to a specification and a price.
The bottom line is how much is the CUSTOMER willing to pay 
for the product.  GOVERNMENT sets the standards for SAFETY.
INSURANCE companies assess liability based on experience
with similar RISKS and statistical analysis.

Where do YOU want to draw the line? 
What MARGIN of SAFETY are YOU willing to pay 
for EVERYTHING you buy?  You probably 
couldn't or wouldn't PAY what it costs for a 
100% SAFE CAR.  

Obviously you have a hostile attitude toward Engineers.
Do you have any applicable CONTRIBUTIONS to make
or do you just like to B****?
