Me neither. The Twilight Zone had an episode once where a guy would abuse his typewriter and other machines and they fought back to make his life miserable.

I think its hard to see people (trying to) break a perfectly working machine. Its just the same as when someone tries to blend a brand new high-end smart phone while its running some nifty app ... :cry:

That's the job of an good engineer, make it and break it. Soap, lather, rinse and repeat. The guys at Boeing should have been kicking MCAS even harder.
