Again: installing non-validated Windows updates is indefensible!

Safety-critical and safety-related applications are a totally different game than what most HNers are used to!

I don't disagree, it's also indefensible to ship counterfeit parts. But it's likely to happen anyways.

It's clearly unsafe to not wear a seatbelt, but it's also clearly wrong to build a device into cars that kills occupants that get in a crash if they aren't wearing one.
